Turbine Engine Solutions

Turbine Engine Solutions (TES), as an integral part of Powerhouse Engine Services, is reimagining the maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services sector with unparalleled expertise and integrated capabilities. This distinction stems from the strategic acquisition of TES by Powerhouse Engine Services in 2021.

A sought-after jet engine leasing company, Powerhouse Engine Services recognized the importance of refining its business operations to reduce dependency on third-party outsourcing, which led it to expand its reach and integrate TES into its fold.

Situated in Miami, Florida, TES now operates as a crucial arm of a comprehensive service provider, offering an array of solutions that include jet engine leasing and sales, MRO services, parts procurement, and field service operations, establishing itself as a holistic provider within the complex ecosystem of aviation maintenance and management.

At its core, TES, energized by the robust framework of Powerhouse Engine Services, upholds a steadfast commitment to operational excellence and proactive problem-solving, ensuring that client relationships surpass a traditional transactional business model. This dedication is materialized through the provision of the conglomerate’s indispensable resources, fostering efficient and continuous operations for airline partners.

Its primary focus on the Boeing 737 asset base—particularly the 737 classic platform and its associated CFM56 engines—reflects a deliberate strategy to enhance long-term partnerships, drive repeat business, and deepen client engagement with this aircraft model. The facility is also equipped with Full Authority Shop (FAS) capabilities for a broad spectrum of engines, including the CFM56 family (models -3, -5, and -7), the JT8D series, the CF6 series, as well as the PT6 series of engines. This strategic focus assures clients of a consistent, quality service experience to reach unprecedented levels of efficiency and achievement.

Powerhouse Engine Services’ Founding Partner and CEO Eric Engdahl articulates the value of such integrated services. “Our clients frequently face the formidable challenge of downtime, which invariably incurs the greatest cost for any airline. Our mission is proactively addressing these issues as they arise, swiftly managing critical situations like unexpected engine removals or the urgent need for engine swaps. In parallel, we work closely with our partner airlines on strategic fleet planning to enhance their overall operational efficacy.”

This way, TES ensures the necessary engines or MRO services are available to clients exactly when required, be it for immediate resolution of unexpected issues or sustained long-term planning.

Efficiency and timeliness are also woven into the very fabric of their engine design, to engineer engines that achieve a 5000-cycle lifespan with remarkable turnaround times. This dedication to durability and consistent performance has earned the team numerous accolades for being the best in class.

For instance, when a client came in for a standard MRO service visit, they were impressed by the elite product quality and the team’s commitment to finishing the project on time. Since then, TES has been the company’s biggest leasing and major MRO client.

At the helm of this success is a dynamic leadership team that serves as the foundation of the company’s excellence. CEO Engdahl, with over 25 years of experience in finance and capital markets, steers business development and corporate strategy. President and COO Jose Leon brings over four decades of commercial aviation experience, infusing the company with extensive knowledge. Director of Operations Eradin De Jesus is a sought-after consultant by premier airlines and government bodies. Last but not least, Alan Braverman, Managing Partner and President, distinguished by The Wall Street Journal as a number one technology analyst, rounds out this formidable quartet.

Supporting the executive team are the highly skilled technicians, whose attention to detail in MRO services is second to none. TES recruits top-tier technicians and fosters their development through continuous training, creating a dynamic and adept workforce. This blend of seasoned expertise and the cultivation of new talent fortifies the team’s technical abilities and cements the company’s leadership in the MRO industry.

As TES propels forward, it not only solves real-time challenges but paints a canvas of trust and reliability. The symbiotic relationship with its client makes TES stand out as a strategic partner, ensuring a seamless flight soaring above the challenges of the skies.
