StandardAero has been granted an extension of its Designated
Overhaul Facility license to include the PW127M engine. Addition of
the PW127M to its existing platform of Pratt & Whitney engine
services expands StandardAero's breadth of capabilities by allowing
it to perform MRO services on the ATR42-500, ATR72-500, ATR42-600
and ATR72-600 series turboprop aircraft; all powered by the PW127M
engine.
"StandardAero has had a long-standing relationship with Pratt
& Whitney Canada serving as a Designated Overhaul Facility on
PW100 series engines. This new authorization adds to those
capabilities and strengthens our portfolio in aircraft maintenance,
repair and overhaul," said StandardAero President & CEO, Rob
Mionis.
"The ability to augment our product
portfolio is excellent news under any circumstances, but is
especially rewarding under the current economic conditions our
industry is experiencing."
The PW127M is the next evolution of the PW127E and F programs
currently offered on the ATR42/72 platform. StandardAero currently
conducts MRO services on the PW127E and F series engines at its
Tilburg facility in The Netherlands. Certification as a Designated
Overhaul Facility on the PW 127M allows StandardAero to continue
supporting the evolving PW100 engine market.
StandardAero, a Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) company with
$1.4 billion in annual revenue, specializes in engine maintenance,
repair and overhaul, and nose-to-tail services that include
airframe, interior refurbishments and paint for business and
general aviation, air transport, and military aircraft.
