Turkish Airlines Deal Is One Of The Company's Largest Contracts In Recent History
The Pratt & Whitney Turkish Engine Center has signed one of its largest maintenance contracts in recent history. Turkish Airlines has selected the engine center, a joint venture between Pratt & Whitney and Turkish Technic, for up to a five-year EngineWise service agreement covering 100 percent of the airline's V2500 and CFM56 -7b engine overhaul requirements.
The Pratt & Whitney Turkish Engine Center started operations in 2010 and draws on decades of maintenance experience from both Pratt & Whitney and Turkish Airlines. The engine center is equipped with high-tech, innovative flow lines and the latest machinery to overhaul engines to the industry's highest standards. Demonstrating a high level of quality and safety, the engine center has delivered over 600 engines since 2010.
"This agreement is an extension of our long-standing relationship with Pratt & Whitney through our joint venture together," said Bilâl Eksi, Deputy Chairman & CEO of Turkish Airlines. "We are confident our customers will benefit from our collaborative efforts."
"We look forward to offering Turkish Airlines the same high standard of service that they have come to expect from Pratt & Whitney under our EngineWise service brand," said Joe Sylvestro, vice president, Aftermarket Operations. "This agreement highlights both parties' long-term commitment to high-quality maintenance services for Turkish Airlines. This also marks a significant milestone for Pratt & Whitney as one of the most significant Aftermarket service agreements in recent history and we thank Turkish Airlines for their confidence in our company."
