An independent provider of engine and airframe maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services was recently selected by a Ghana-based airline to provide a tailored package of engine services for its fleet of Q400 regional turboprop aircraft.
Under the multi-year contract, StandardAero, based in Scottsdale, Arizona, will provide MRO services for PassionAir’s Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) PW150A turboprop engines from its Designated Overhaul Facility (DOF) in Seletar, Singapore.
The contract will also authorize StandardAero to provide PassionAir with a range of rental engine, engineering and engine condition trend monitoring (ECTM) support services. StandardAero is uniquely placed to offer ECTM analysis expertise as both a P&WC designated overhaul facility (DOF) and a CAMP Systems Designated Analysis Center (DAC).
“After evaluating prospective service providers on our shortlist, we are happy to engage StandardAero as the engine maintenance provider for our Q400 fleet,” said Charles Richardson, Director of Maintenance for PassionAir. “We found the engine care package offered to be comprehensive and competitive, and it is my belief and hope that we will experience complete satisfaction with the service and support that we anticipate to receive from them.”
“We are pleased to add PassionAir to the list of Ghanaian operators supported by StandardAero,” said Peter Turner, President of Airlines & Fleets for StandardAero. “PassionAir joins a growing list of customers who benefit from service excellence provided by our start-of-the-art facility in Singapore, backed up by our extensive engineering and ECTM capabilities. We look forward to meeting and exceeding the airline’s expectations for on-time support over the coming years.”
