Russell Ford, chairman and CEO of StandardAero, discussed the company’s 115th anniversary and its growth trajectory during an appearance at Farnborough 2026. He noted that StandardAero has operated continuously since the early days of powered aviation and has expanded from $1.6 billion to $6 billion in revenue during his tenure. Ford attributed organic growth to new engine platforms, citing authorizations for engines such as the HTF7000 and the LEAP program, while mentioning that the company has acquired 12 businesses over the past eight years as part of its inorganic growth strategy. Ford also commented on the long-term nature of the engine maintenance business, stating that aircraft engines may be rebuilt four to five times over their operational lives and that StandardAero holds a 30-year license for the latest LEAP engine. He emphasized the industry’s consistent growth, estimating annual growth of 5–6% over the last 50 years, and predicted that this dynamic will persist into the 2030s, with older aircraft continuing to fly longer before new aircraft capacity normalizes replacement rates. Ford highlighted the company’s workforce stability, noting that average employee tenure is about double that of similar businesses.
