Turner & Townsend Asia Managing Director Brian Shuptrine said: “Our time-tested project management experience in delivering MRO facilities for Rolls-Royce worldwide will ensure that we anticipate, plan and derive maximum cost and operational efficiency throughout the construction of this Beijing Aero Engine Services Company Limited project, and support BAESL’s ambitions to become a state-of-the-art MRO company.”

The facility is expected to contribute to the continuous growth of Rolls-Royce’s global care network and environmental goals by minimising overseas engine transportation for MRO operations.
