TAE (formerly Tasman Aviation Enterprises) has celebrated the 10th anniversary as the manager of the F-111 Workshops Business Unit at RAAF Base Amberley, while also welcoming the first of the GE F414 engines of the new F/A-18F Super Hornet.

TAE, along with its partners, was awarded the contract for the Total Logistics Support program for the engines of the RAAF Hornet and Super Hornet in late 2008.

As well as the F-111 Workshops Business Unit at RAAF Base Amberley, over the last 10 years the company operated the RAAF's aircraft paint facility at RAAF Base Richmond, continued to service the propellers and fuel control for the PC-9 fleet and remained the intermediate maintenance provider for the GE F404 engines of the F/A-18 Hornet at RAAF Base Williamtown.

The integration of the RAAF's F-111 Engine Business Unit into the TAE business at Amberley in November 2006, and the subsequent acquisitions of TAE Aviation (formerly Tenix Aviation) and Masling Industries in late 2008, have helped expand both its commercial and defence businesses.

Now operating across seven Australian sites with more than 250 employees, the TAE Group provides aerospace engineering service solutions covering maintenance, manufacturing, overhaul, repair and engineering for turbine engines, passenger and military transport aircraft, fast jets, helicopters, regional aircraft, general aviation and agricultural aircraft.
