On 16 April, Rockwell Collins and CIAC have signed a cooperation agreement for repair service of Rockwell Collins’ avionics systems for Colombian Military and National Police aircraft. CIAC will be responsible for the Rockwell Collins products (e.g. MRO) used by the Columbian Forces. The agreement was signed at LAAD in Rio by Flavio Enrique Ulloa Echeverry, a retired Air Force General of Columbia and CEO of CIAC (Corporacion de la Industria Aeronautic Columbia S.A.) and Alan J. Prowse, Vice President and Managing Director Americas and Global Services BD Rockwell Collins. That ceremony was hosted by the Deputy Minister of Defence Columbia, General (ret.) Jose Gabriel Perez.

The agreement, a five-year Firm-Fixed Price repair contract, will enable CIAC to receive expedited repair service of Rockwell Collins avionics equipment. As part of Rockwell Collins’ strategic objective to expand service and support capabilities in Latin America, CIAC will become the primary service channel to market for Rockwell Collins’ systems in Colombia. This marks the first phase of the alliance, which can be expanded as CIAC’s service capabilities grow in Colombia and Latin America.

Furthermore CIAC offers capabilities in maintenance services (e.g. level III inspections, primary beam replacement, level 1/2 rotor blades replacement, MRO composite materials, MWO, main fuselage check, recovery of crashed aircrafts) and logistical support (hardware and consumable material, primary structure elements, etc.) for the UH-60 BLACK HAWK of the Columbian Air Force and is responsible for the Modernization of the T-27 plane (cabin, navigation and communication equipment, total rewiring, structurally reinforcement (wing).
