The numbers speak for themselves. Over the past 12 months Comtek has repaired hundreds of leading edges. From boot installs to major damage repairs, Comtek provides a complete range of services backed by experience, industry leading warranties, and customer confidence.
Comtek has full scope solutions for leading edge repair. Primarily focused on composite leading edges for Dash 8 aircraft, Comtek also repairs leading edges for ATR, Saab, and Dornier aircraft along with metallic leading edges of regional jets.
Common repairs:
- De-icer boot removal and installation
- Outer ply reskins
- Inner skin ply repairs
- Overhaul – including ribs
- Landing light assemblies
Expertise in Returning Heavily Damaged Parts to Service
Comtek has unique and proprietary capabilities to repair extensively damaged parts. As a Design Approval Organization, we can repair and certify parts damaged beyond typical SRM limits, including those that other facilities may deem Beyond Economic Repair. We literally wrote the procedure on major damage repair – In the 90’s, Comtek developed repair schemes in collaboration with Bombardier (De Havilland) for major repair to leading edges on Dash 8 aircraft. Since that time, these repairs have saved our customers thousands over the cost of full replacement. To date, Comtek remains the only facility listed on De Havilland RD’s that is approved for major damage repair to Dash 8 leading edges.
With our experience, our streamlined facilities, and proven processes, we can repair BER parts faster than replacing with new, at a fraction of the cost and with similar warranty.
As OEM production parts become more difficult to source, we are helping to fill the gap with our range of repair services. For Dash 8-400 specifically, we also offer PMA/PDA leading edges.
Quality Repairs backed by Strong Customer Service
We have a dedicated customer service team for our repairs group that is responsive, experienced and committed to meeting our customer satisfaction goals. The results of our last annual survey indicate that our repair customers view Comtek highly across all key performance metrics including price, turnaround time, quality, customer service and on-time delivery.
We are committed to building and maintaining long lasting, mutually beneficial relationships with our customers. In support of this commitment, we provide annual rebates to our repairs customers through our Customer Loyalty program.
