HAECO, a global leader in aircraft engineering and maintenance solutions, is pleased to announce the successful completion of its first Reverse Bleed System (RBS) installation for the LEAP-1A engine, including fuel nozzle replacement, via its on-wing services team in London, UK. This achievement marks the third successful location performing LEAP-1A engine modification following similar milestones at HAECO’s Hong Kong and Dallas facilities, underscoring HAECO’s exceptional ability to deliver innovative engine solutions worldwide. 

HAECO Global Engine Support, an operating company under HAECO Group, provides round-the-clock on-wing and in-shop engine support services from its extensive network spanning the Asia Pacific, the Americas, and Europe. The successful LEAP-1A RBS modifications highlight the trusted partnership between HAECO and major engine OEMs, reinforcing its position as a world-leading provider of engine maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) solutions.

“We are delighted to announce this significant milestone of completing the LEAP-1A RBS installation successfully,” said Corné van Rooij, General Manager of HAECO Global Engine Support. “This accomplishment not only showcases our technical expertise but also reflects the strong collaboration and trust by OEMs, enabling us to enhance our engine service offerings with cutting-edge solutions for our airline customers.” 

In early 2025, HAECO partnered with the city of Dallas to relocate to an expanded engine facility, enhancing its capabilities for the industrialization and repair of next-generation aircraft engines, such as LEAP. In addition to LEAP-1A RBS installations, HAECO Global Engine Support offers 24/7 on-wing and near-wing engine support, inspections and repairs, and offers a network of EASA- and FAA-approved hospital shops for all major engine types. It also operates state-of-the-art engine storage facilities and serves as a centre for the lease redelivery of major engine models offering borescope inspection, general visual inspection, inventory check and engine preservation. 

At its London facility, HAECO Global Engine Support provides on-wing and near-wing engine services for a wide range of engine types, including the RB211-524, -535, Trent 500, 700, 800, 900, 1000/7000, XWB, and LEAP-1A, further demonstrating its broad technical capabilities and commitment to delivering reliable and high-quality engine solutions.
