PRATT & WHITNEY CANADA ADDS HELICOPTER ENGINE OVERHAUL CAPABILITY AT SINGAPORE FACILITY
The new MRO line will serve over 300 PT6C-67C-powered AW139 helicopters globally.
Pratt & Whitney Canada adds a new MRO line for the PT6C-67C helicopter engine at its Singapore facility. From left to right: Hany Sarhan, Vice-President Sales & Marketing, Regional & APU; Irene Makris, Vice-President Customer Service; May Teo, Associate Director General Manager SEA Engine Center; Tham Eng Kit, Director, Customer Programs & Operations Asia Pacific; Maria Della Posta, President Pratt & Whitney Canada; Nivine Kallab, Executive Director Customer Programs; and Martin Letarte, Director Global Sales.
Pratt & Whitney Canada announced it will expand its maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) capabilities by creating a new overhaul line in Singapore for its PT6C-67C engines, which power the Leonardo AW139 medium-twin helicopter.
The Singapore facility was chosen as the location for the new overhaul line in response to a growing demand for advanced maintenance solutions for the P6TC-67C engine and the evolving needs of customers around the world. A new modular test cell will also be established at the facility as part of the new capability setup. The new overhaul line and test cell are expected to be fully operational by 2025.
Pratt & Whitney Canada's Singapore facility currently provides overhaul-level services for the PW100 family of regional turboprop engines, repair capabilities for a variety of the company's other turboprop, turbofan, and turboshaft engines, and for its APS3200 auxiliary power unit for the Airbus A320. Additionally, it serves as a regional customer service centre and provides front-line support, commercial services, and mobile repair team capabilities for customers. The introduction of the new line will complement the existing overhaul capability of the Saint Hubert Engine Center in Canada, providing an additional option for PT6C-67C customers globally.
Since its founding in 1983, the Singapore facility has grown into a central hub for all Pratt & Whitney Canada engine operators in the region which includes Australia and New Zealand.
