In early 2019, CargoLogicAir (CLA) was facing a major hurdle. The powerplant department was under strain due to a shortage of experienced staff, making it difficult to meet the increasing demands of their B747 fleet. At this critical time, they turned to TGIS Aviation for a solution.
“TGIS provided exceptionally experienced engineers who seamlessly integrated into our team,” says Peter Majda, Powerplant Manager at CLA. With CLA operating both CF6 and GE90 engines across their B747-400F and later B747-8F aircraft, we stepped in to support their powerplant department. Our engineers quickly took charge of various key responsibilities, including engine fleet management, maintenance programme development, and negotiating contracts with MRO providers.
Peter notes, “Their engineers managed shop visit planning, handled AD and SB reviews, created task cards for engines and APUs, monitored engine conditions, and generated reliability reports.” These critical activities kept CLA’s engine operations running smoothly during a very demanding period.
TGIS provided a highly experienced team that not only managed day-to-day tasks but took a proactive role in anticipating challenges. We supported CLA with lease returns, preparing and reviewing record packages to ensure full compliance and smooth transitions. Our engineers also worked directly with lessors, streamlining the process and ensuring CLA met all contractual obligations without issue.
Peter recalls, “TGIS Aviation’s proactive approach and dedication were instrumental in managing our engine fleet.” By anticipating potential problems and implementing solutions before they escalated, we helped CLA maintain high standards without disruption to operations.
Thanks to TGIS Aviation, CLA was able to manage their engine fleet with confidence, despite their staffing challenges. “TGIS’s expertise and professionalism were invaluable. They quickly understood our needs and implemented effective solutions that significantly improved our operational efficiency,” says Peter.
We helped CLA navigate this challenging period, ensuring they continued to meet operational demands with the highest level of service. “Their ability to supply highly skilled engineers who deliver results under pressure was evident throughout our collaboration,” Peter adds.
