Pratt & Whitney and Aircastle have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for an Engine Support Agreement supporting off-wing maintenance for up to 25 Embraer E-Jet E2s, powered by PurePower engines. The PurePower PW1900G engine is the sole source powerplant on the E190-E2 and the E195-E2 jets. Deliveries are planned to begin in 2018.
“Aircastle is pleased for Pratt & Whitney to provide support for our engines,” said Ron Wainshal, CEO. “This agreement solidifies our commitment to ensuring these aircraft will retain exceptional performance and value for years to come.”
“We are honored that Aircastle has chosen Pratt & Whitney as part of the team to support the engines for their fleet,” said Greg Gernhardt, president, Pratt & Whitney Commercial Engines. “No one knows our PurePower engines better than Pratt & Whitney, and we can provide the support our customers need in order to receive the full benefits of the fuel burn and reliability this engine brings to market.”
