Pratt and Whitney Canada (P&WC) have signed a multi-year engine services agreement with new Indian regional airline, FLY91. The agreement will cover maintenance, repair and overhaul of its PW127M engines that power its fleet of ATR 72-600 turboprops.
FLY91, India’s newest regional airline brand, intends to increase its fleet by the end of 2024 to provide connectivity to local communities. As part of its plan for growth, the airline will induct 30 aircraft into its fleet, to connect over 50 cities in India in the next five years.
Irene Makris, Vice President, Customer Service at Pratt & Whitney Canada, said: “The ability of a commercial aircraft to take off as scheduled often depends on the readiness and reliability of its engines. We have 40 years of experience in the maintenance of the PW100 engine family and we’re confident we can help FLY91 enjoy excellent dispatch reliability for its ATR 72-600 fleet and fully meet passenger expectations.”
“The agreement with Pratt & Whitney Canada is a significant step in assuring we can provide our customers with dependable regional air travel from our base at Goa’s Manohar International Airport,” said Manoj Chacko, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of FLY91.
P&WC is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Pw100 engine family, which powers 90% of all regional turboprops operating today.
