Greece Awards Pratt & Whitney F100 Engine Contract

Will Power Hellenic Air Force F-16s

Pratt & Whitney was awarded a $33.9 million contract for additional F100 spare engines in support of the Hellenic Air Force's fleet of F-16 aircraft. The contract includes four F100-PW-229 Engine Enhancement Package (EEP) engines and 16 engine modules. The first F100-PW-229 EEP engine delivery is scheduled for December 2010.

"Pratt & Whitney's F100 team continues to work closely with the Hellenic Air Force to ensure its fleet remains safe and supportable throughout the lifecycle of its operation," said Bill Begert, vice president of Military Engines Business Development and Aftermarket Services for Pratt & Whitney. "Pratt & Whitney F100 engines have powered the Hellenic Air Force's Block 52+ F-16 fleet since 2002. We are pleased the Hellenic Air Force has demonstrated its continued high confidence in the F100 engine, and we are excited about extending the benefits of lower total cost of ownership in the form of the EEP engine."
