P&WC Expands Singapore Helicopter, T-prop Support

RTX’s Pratt & Whitney Canada business has added MRO capabilities for helicopter and regional airliner engines at its Asia-Pacific hub in Singapore. The facility opened in 1983, specializing in turboprop engine services.

The added capabilities cover the PT6C-67C, more than 300 of which power Asia-Pacific-based Leonardo AW139 helicopters, and mark the introduction of turboshaft services at the Singapore facility. This includes a new modular test cell that supports overhauls. On the regional airliner side, the Singapore site now supports full overhaul support for the PW127XT that powers current-generation ATR 42 and 72 turboprop twins.

“Pratt & Whitney Canada’s Singapore facility has been a cornerstone of our Asia-Pacific operations for over four decades, delivering heavy maintenance support to regional turboprop and APU operators,” said Anthony Rossi, v-p of customer service for Pratt & Whitney Canada.

“With the addition of these new heavy MRO services, we are better positioned to meet rising demand from our in-region customers by offering advanced, localized maintenance solutions and reducing turnaround times.”

More than 3,000 PT6C-67Cs have been delivered and have accumulated more than 10 million flight hours, while the PW100 family has logged more than 220 million flight hours, including 300,000 for the PW127XT.
