ABLE AEROSPACE SERVICES EARNS THREE NEW U.S. AIR FORCE CONTRACTSOffers value-added solutions for long-term KC-135 Stratotanker maintenance
MESA, AZ (Oct. 27, 2014) –Able Aerospace Services, a leading
MRO service and FAA approved PMA parts provider, has been
awarded three separate five-year contracts worth more than $9
million by the United States Air Force.
The Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts
directly support the Air Force’s KC-135 Stratotanker weapon system by providing remanufactured flap drive
ballscrew transmission assemblies.
“The Stratotanker is an integral part of the United States’ ability to extend airpower worldwide,” said Mark
McNatt, Director of Business Development for Able Aerospace Services. “As budgets diminish, it becomes
increasingly important to seek new and economical solutions that keep America’s critical fleets in the air –
operating at their most efficient utilization rate and for as long as possible. Able Aerospace Services
consistently provides these solutions.”
With the new Air Force commitments, Able now supports eight KC-135 contracts, covering aileron lockout
mechanisms, flap offset gearbox assemblies, fillet flap double angle gearbox assemblies and various other
gearbox assemblies.
“We appreciate this mark of confidence, and consider the new Air Force commitments as another validation of
our highly qualified people, state-of-the-art facilities and consistent, on-time and on-budget performance.”
