The Delta TechOps Aircraft MSP Engine Shop is a dedicated Hospital Shop and Test Cell for strategic repairs that require limited aircraft engine penetration and that can be accomplished in one to ten days. Our MRO Team of aircraft engine specialists provides on wing engine maintenance, delivering world-class MRO services, quick turns and exceptional value for MRO customers.
MSP Engine Maintenance is primarily responsible for the acceptance, inspection, repair, and testing of aircraft engines in Delta’s mainline fleet. Approximately 400 Engines / APU’s are processed through MSP each year. Our capabilities include the JT8D, JT9D, V2528-D5, CFM56-5A, PW2037/PW2040, PW4056, PW4168, and Trent 895-17. We perform Lease Acceptance, Lease Return, and Purchase procedures of all engine types. We also receive and inspect all models of APU’s received back from OSR (outside repair) and certify Delta serviceable. MSP is certified as a Delta Satellite Repair Station under FAA 14 CFR Part 145 for work on customer engines.
