Under the program, Hamilton Sundstrand manages the entire maintenance process, precluding the airlines from having to deal with multiple aftermarket service providers. The CARE program covers all accessories including hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel and fire systems. This is part of the one-stop shopping concept. We do our best to give them a quote and a source when they need such a component. They can pay for repairs as needed, or they can pay a fee per engine flight hour.
Airlines can participate in the CARE program in two ways.
Also, Hamilton Sundstrand is offering the program directly to airlines when support is needed only for the engine components and systems. Hamilton Sundstrand maintains a master inventory of accessories at its central warehouses. In addition, individualized inventories can be maintained at the airline maintenance facilities. Hamilton Sundstrand, a subsidiary of United Technologies Corporation, is headquartered in Windsor Locks, Connecticut. Among the largest global suppliers of technologically advanced aerospace and industrial products, the company designs and manufactures aerospace systems for commercial, regional, corporate and military aircraft, and is a major supplier for international space programs.
