StandardAero, an independent provider of aerospace engine aftermarket services, recently celebrated 40 years of supporting Pratt & Whitney Canada’s PW100 turboprop.
The PW100 engine family is the leading engine for regional turboprop, utility, and cargo segments. Nearly 3,000 PW100-powered aircraft are in service, and 600 operators operate them in 128 countries.
Dallas Airmotive was the first independent MRO provider to form an agreement with Pratt and Whitney Canada for the PW100 turboprop and was acquired by StandardAero in 2021. Currently, StandardAero has three overhaul locations for the PW100 engine family: Center of Excellence (COE) for Turboprop Engine MRO in Summerside, PEI, Canada; Gonesse, France; and Seletar, Singapore.
“StandardAero is pleased to support Pratt & Whitney Canada and its worldwide PW100 operator community by providing reliable maintenance, repair and overhaul support for the engine,” said Jeff Poirier, Vice President/General Manager of the Turboprops & Fleets (TPAF) Business Unit for StandardAero. “PW100-powered aircraft play an important role in connecting communities worldwide, securing borders, safeguarding habitats and saving lives, and StandardAero’s skilled employees play an important part in ensuring that operators are able to rely on their PW100 turboprops whenever needed. We look forward to supporting the global PW100 community for many decades to come.”
To date, Pratt & Whitney Canada has certified 30 PW100 models and produced 9,000 engines, with an accumulative 200 million flight hours. Aircraft that use the engine family include the Airbus C295, ATR 42/72, AVIC XAC M60/M600, De Havilland Canada Dash 8 and CL-215/CL-415/DHC-515, Dornier 328, Embraer EMB-120 Brasilia and Fokker 50/60.
