Pratt & Whitney Canada and TAAG Angola Airlines have signed a six-year fleet management program agreement. The engine maintenance services cover the airline's PW150A engines which power its fleet of Dash 8-400 regional turboprops.
""The dispatch reliability of regional aircraft plays a critical role in keeping the entire ecosystem operating efficiently and economically,"" said Pratt & Whitney Canada vice president customer services Irene Markis. ""By maintaining TAAG's PW150A engines we are helping to ensure optimal aircraft availability and engine asset management.""
The agreement includes Pratt & Whitney's proprietary oil-analysis technology and its FAST diagnostic and prognostic solution which captures, analyses and wirelessly sends full-flight data intelligence to customers within minutes of engine shutdown.
TAAG Airlines CEO Nelson de Oliveira said the program is ""ideal for us as we can rely on the proven expertise of the engine original equipment manufacturer to ensure we gain maximum productivity and efficiency from our PW150A engines.""
