Goodrich Corp. opened a new maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility in Sao Carlos, Brazil, in the TAM Technological Condominium. The facility, Goodrich do Brasil, will initially focus on repairing International Aero Engine V2500-A5 engine inlets, fan cowls, and thrust reversers for customers in Latin America and the Caribbean. Capabilities will be expanded in the near future to service other nacelle platforms currently operating in the region. The 10,000-ft² site serves as an interim location; in 2010, Goodrich will begin renovations on a 40,000-ft² permanent facility adjacent to TAM's heavy maintenance facility in Sao Carlos.
