1. What is CorporateCare®?

CorporateCare is an engine maintenance programme under which you can budget your costs as easily as you can forecast your flight hours and cycles. For those components covered under the programme you pay an engine flight hour rate governed by the CorporateCare agreement. Charges are payable monthly for actual hours flown.

CorporateCare is comprehensive, yet simple. The programme comprises of a standard package along with a menu of optional services, which may be added depending on the particular needs of the operator.

CorporateCare is available for either “hard time” or “task oriented” engine maintenance programmes.

2. How can CorporateCare help me?

CorporateCare provides operators with low-risk forecasting linked to engine operation and utilisation. Our programme allows simple and accurate budgeting of engine expenditures, eliminating the risk associated with unscheduled maintenance events while covering all scheduled shop visit costs. In this way, engine maintenance expenses become stable and predictable.

Under CorporateCare, Rolls-Royce maintains a predefined workscope for each engine type. The 'workscope' ensures that engines are in top condition and provides the optimum on-wing life. With our professionally designed workscope and the Engine Condition Monitoring (ECM) service, Rolls-Royce can identify when engine maintenance is required as well as detect potential problems before they materialise and cause unnecessary costs or disruption.

3. Will CorporateCare increase my aircraft’s resale value?

Yes. Since CorporateCare is transferable on sale of the aircraft, prospective owners will know that payments have already been made to cover accrued time towards future maintenance expenses, thus increasing your asset value. Additionally, prospective future owners will know the engine manufacturer has cared for the engines, assuring them that the engines are in excellent condition and in line with Rolls-Royce engine management guidelines.

4. What is the Engine Management Programme (EMP)?

The EMP defines the workscope and provides the most effective on-wing and in-shop maintenance practices resulting in improved reliability, engine life and consequently aircraft availability for task oriented engine maintenance programmes.

The EMP is developed and refined through the collection and analysis of in-service data and shop visit experience, highlighting areas of improvement thereby driving maintenance and engineering innovations.

15. What happens to my warranty under CorporateCare? What about its benefits?

The original parts warranty on your Rolls-Royce engines stays in effect when you enrol in CorporateCare. However, by signing onto the more comprehensive CorporateCare program, the benefits of the original warranty are assigned to the CorporateCare programme.

16. Can I terminate the programme early?

No. CorporateCare is a commitment between the Operator and Rolls-Royce for the entire contracted period of cover of the agreement. However, should the aircraft be sold, or become beyond economical repair, then obligations between Rolls-Royce and the existing operator will cease.

17. Can I transfer CorporateCare?

Yes. The benefits under CorporateCare are fully transferable upon sale of your aircraft and therefore will enhance your aircraft resale value and saleability. Because maintenance expenses are fixed, negotiations against aircraft value based upon the potential costs of these expenses can be avoided.
