The U.S. Air Force has chosen Chromalloy to repair low pressure turbine modules of F108 engines that power KC-135 tankers and KC-135 reconnaissance aircraft.

The contract to the Florida-headquartered company is worth a maximum of $74 million. It has a one-year base period of performance and four one-year options.

"With this agreement, Chromalloy is pleased to build on our longstanding relationship with the U.S. Air Force," said Chromalloy President Carlo Luzzatto. "Through our expertise in repairing gas turbine engine modules and components, Chromalloy offers military fleets significant cost savings over buying new parts

"Our FAA-approved repairs have logged more than 1.2 million flight hours on this engine platform and are a proven source of reliability and durability."

Chromalloy said the award covers the overhaul of the low pressure turbine shaft assembly, Module 14. The work will be performed during scheduled maintenance events of the engines and will be conducted at facilities within Chromalloy's service network.
