UTC Aerospace Systems, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX) and
key supplier in the Boeing 787 Dreamliner program, and ST Aerospace have
signed a long-term repair license agreement for maintenance, repair and
overhaul (MRO) services for UTC Aerospace Systems components on the Boeing
787 aircraft.

As a licensed MRO service provider for UTC Aerospace Systems’ electrical
and air management systems, this partnership allows ST Aerospace to extend
its nose-to-tail solutions to include services for UTC Aerospace Systems
components installed on the Boeing 787, including bleedless systems and
liquid cooling components. ST Aerospace will deliver reliable customised
maintenance solutions to Boeing 787 operators globally.

“This newest relationship with ST Aerospace will bolster the levels of
customer support provided for UTC Aerospace Systems’ products on the 787
around the world,” said Jim Patrick, vice president of Customer Service for
UTC Aerospace Systems’ Power, Controls and Sensing Systems segment. “ST
Aerospace’s strong global presence, particularly in the Asia Pacific
region, completes our global 787 network structure, and their vast
experience in the aircraft MRO industry will provide a unique perspective
to successfully support our customers.”

“We are excited at the opportunity to expand our partnership with UTC
Aerospace Systems through this new aircraft platform,” said Chang Cheow
Teck, president of
ST Aerospace. “Building upon a strong OEM solution and leveraging our
global MRO network as an independent integrated service provider, we look
forward to providing Boeing 787 operators with adaptive maintenance
solutions that create long term growth value.”

With this agreement, ST Aerospace becomes an official member of UTC
Aerospace Systems’ Boeing 787 MRO supplier network. Prior to this
partnership, both companies had been collaborating on component repair
services for various aircraft platforms.
