In 2012, ATP achieved a landmark international recognition during which it received certification as an Authorized Maintenance Centre (AMC) for T56/501 engines from Rolls-Royce, the statement said.
ATP’s experience and track record has been recognized by Lockheed Martin and was accorded the Lockheed Martin Quick Engine Change (QEC) Service Center certification in 2015.
