Marshall won the Multiple Award Contract earlier this year after a rigorous international competition that included extensive pre-solicitation audits and demonstration of past performance, bringing the number of Government C-130 fleets it supports to 17. MADG chief executive, Gary Moynehan, said: “The arrival of the first US Marine Corps aircraft is a very significant and exciting milestone for our business and I know that the team will deliver our usual standards of exceptional service to this important customer. “Recognised as a global leader on the C-130 platform, MADG aligns well with the FRC Western Pacific mission emphasising agility, quality, and safety to return a premier product to the customer. “We couldn’t be happier to be partnered with MADG, and together, look forward to positively impacting the future operational readiness of the C-130 fleet.”
