Safety Record
In some cases, zero can mean a lot — especially regarding safety. Chromalloy
has never been issued a single FAA Airworthiness Directive (AD) over our entire
50-year history, spanning more than 300,000 PMAs and AFRs. It’s a record
we’re proud of because it speaks to the precision and durability of our work in
service operation. But we feel even better about the confidence and peace of
mind it brings to our customers.

Lufthansa Technik, United Airlines and Alitalia. BELAC provides airlines with
high-quality, readily available, lower-cost alternatives to OEM HPT (High
Pressure Turbine) blades. These particular components represent an airline’s
greatest opportunity for cost savings; however, they are also the most complex
to manufacture. Today, BELAC has more than 32,000 HPT blades in operation.
