Ex RAF C-130J’s updates by Marsshall group for theTurkish Air Force

admin

🎯 Work on the Turkish Air Force’s C-130J Super Hercules fleet is progressing at pace, with several of the 12 aircraft in our hangars simultaneously.

🤝 We were delighted to show this progress to our customer directly last week, welcoming Brigadier General Volkan Ersun Acar (Director, 2nd Air Maintenance Factory) and Lieutenant Colonel Halis Can Polat (Manager, Depot Level Maintenance Factory) to our Cambridge headquarters.

🏗️ A highlight of the tour: our dedicated C-130J centre wing box replacement facility, where our guests were able to view one of their aircraft after its centre wing box had been removed. For most operators, it’s quite rare to view a C-130 in this state, since line maintenance seldom involves the aircraft’s primary structure.

📈 We’re very grateful to Brigadier General Acar and Lieutenant Colonel Polat for their visit, and look forward to continuing our work together as we proceed with the programme.

Marshall Aerospace a major contract support all 12 ex RAF Herculessen to the Turkish Air Force

The Turkish Ministry of National Defence has awarded Marshall Aerospace a major contract to support its fleet of newly-acquired Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules aircraft.

The multi-year agreement covers entry into service and sustainment for all 12 aircraft to be operated by the Turkish Air Force, including scheduled maintenance, spares and tooling.

Marshall will also provide training to enable the customer to build up an indigenous capability on the C-130J platform.

In partnership with the UK Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) Export & Sales (E&S), Marshall supported the resale process as the Principal Retail Partner for these aircraft, while conducting ongoing anti-deterioration maintenance and storage at its facility in Cambridge, UK.

In addition to the scheduled maintenance, Marshall will have completed centre wing box replacements on each of the 12 airframes prior to the aircraft entering into service with the Turkish Air Force.
