Agreement Covers Regional Carrier's Fleet Of Cessna Caravan Aircraft

Hyannis, MA-based regional airline Cape Air has selected StandardAero to provide engine support services for its fleet of Cessna Caravan aircraft. Under the agreement, StandardAero will provide Cape Air with Pratt & Whitney PT6A turboprop engine maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services from its network of overhaul facilities and service centers in North America.

StandardAero is the world’s largest independent Pratt & Whitney authorized PT6A Designated Overhaul Facility (DOF) with distribution rights on certain engine models. The company supports the global PT6A operator community from four DOFs located in North America, Europe, Africa and Australasia, backed up by a global network of seven service centers and over twenty dedicated mobile repair technicians. With more than 25 years of reliable turboprop experience, StandardAero provides operators with a nose-to-tail suite of services, including repair schemes, re-engineering STCs, engine exchanges, rentals and Engine Condition Trend Monitoring (ECTM) analysis.

"Cape Air looks forward to continuing its successful relationship with StandardAero, which spans back to the former Vector Aerospace entity," said Jim Goddard, senior vice president with Cape Air. "We look forward to receiving the same high standards of service from StandardAero on the PT6A engine that we have experienced from the company on the PW100 platform in support of our ATR 42 fleet over the past 15 years.”

"Having provided PW100 MRO services to the airline for many years, we are honored to now be entrusted with support for Cape Air’s PT6A engine fleet, and look forward to providing the airline with safe and reliable support for years to come,” said Jason Johnson, Vice President – Sales & Marketing for StandardAero's Airline & Fleets business unit.

Now in its 30th year, Cape Air is one of the largest independent regional airlines in the United States, serving 37 cities in the US and Caribbean.
