Pratt & Whitney Canada announced it will expand its maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) capabilities with the establishment of a new overhaul line in Singapore for the PT6C-67C engine that powers the Leonardo AW139 medium twin-engine helicopter. Pratt & Whitney is his RTX business.
The Singapore facility was chosen as the location for the new overhaul line in response to the growing demand for advanced maintenance solutions for P6TC-67C engines and the evolving needs of customers around the world.
New modular test cells will also be installed at the facility as part of the new functional setup. The new overhaul line and test cell are expected to be fully operational by 2025.
“Our Singapore facility offers a variety of comprehensive service solutions and MRO capabilities to our customers in Asia Pacific,” said Eileen Makris, vice president of customer services at Pratt & Whitney Canada.
“We have more than 600 PT6C-67C engines operating in the region, and that number is expected to continue to grow. We will continue to build our presence around the world to ensure we can provide carriers with fast and top-quality service.”
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 It provides repair capabilities for the APS3200 auxiliary power unit for the Airbus A320.
Additionally, it will serve as a regional customer service center, providing customers with front-line support, commercial services and mobile repair team capabilities.
The introduction of the new line complements Canada’s St. Hubert Engine Center’s existing overhaul capabilities and provides additional options for PT6C-67C customers around the world.
Since its establishment in 1983, the Singapore facility has grown into a central hub for all Pratt & Whitney Canada engine operators in the region, including Australia and New Zealand.
