C&L Aerospace is continuing to increase support for aircraft manufacturer ATR with the recent purchase and disassembly of an ATR 42-500.

This is the ninth ATR the company has disassembled for parts in the last three years. The parts include engines, landing gear, prop blades, leading edges, and flight controls.

Warrick Hood, senior vice president of C&L Aerospace, said: “We are consistently adding to our ATR parts inventory to meet the needs of operators around the world.

“C&L is here to be a long-term support provider in the ATR market, assisting operators with PW127 engine sales, leasing, repair management, spare parts supply, and more.”

C&L Aerospace, a C&L Aviation Group company, has been increasing its ATR and PW127 series engine support programme for several years.

The company’s full ATR support programme also includes PMA development, rotables, leading edges, propeller support, engine support, consignment, and pool agreements, which combined with previous multi-million-dollar parts purchases, ATR teardowns provide a significant inventory to support operators.
