StandardAero has signed a multi-year agreement with Island Aviation Services Limited (IASL) to provide support for the Pratt & Whitney (P&W) PT6A-27 and PW123 turboprops.
These engines power the fleets of Twin Otter and Dash 8 aircraft operated by Maldivian, the national airline of the Maldives.
StandardAero will support IASL’s engines from its PT6A Designated Overhaul Facility (DOF) in Brisbane, QLD, Australia, and from its PW100 DOFs in Summerside, PE, Canada and Gonesse, France.
This new agreement extends a long-running relationship between IASL and StandardAero, which has previously supported both the airline’s PT6A-powered Twin Otter fleet, as well as its PW100-powered Dash 8 fleet.
Commenting on the agreement, Mohamed Hassan, head of engineering at IASL, said: “IASL looks forward to continuing its relationship with StandardAero, supporting maintenance on the PW100 and PT6A engines in our fleet.”
