Now offering a single multi-purpose grease to airlines operating mixed fleets

NYCO announced today it has secured a new approval for Nyco Grease GN 148, its latest multi-purpose synthetic grease for airframe, to be used on ATR aircraft. This new approval completes the former approvals on Airbus and Boeing aircraft, making Nyco Grease GN 148 the last technology of multi-purpose grease airlines operating mixed fleets are looking for.

“ Nyco Grease GN 148 enables the use of one single high performance grease for airframe lubrication, thus simplifying inventory and maintenance tasks while contributing to globally reducing Direct Maintenance Costs for operators. ” said Pedro Dasi, Program Development Manager at NYCO.

Recently, a major French airline selected Nyco Grease GN 148 for use in its dual fleet of Boeing and Airbus aircraft becoming the first operator to generalize the use of Nyco Grease GN 148 as multi-purpose grease on a mixed fleet; thus rationalizing the number of lubricants used on its large fleet and simplifying maintenance tasks.
