Global aerospace major Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) said on Thursday, March 28, that it has signed a multi-year engine services agreement with FLY91 for the maintenance, repair and overhaul of the PW127M engines.
Irene Makris, Vice President, Customer Service, at Pratt & Whitney Canada, said, "The ability of a commercial aircraft to take off as scheduled often depends on the readiness and reliability of its engines. We have 40 years of experience in the maintenance of the PW100 engine family and we are confident we can help FLY91 enjoy excellent dispatch reliability for its ATR 72-600 fleet and fully meet passenger expectations."
Co-founded by erstwhile Kingfisher Airlines senior executive Manoj Chacko, the venture, Just Udo Aviation Private Ltd, secured the Union Civil Aviation Ministry's nod in April last year to start the airline under the brand name FLY91. The airline received its air operator permit from aviation regulator DGCA on March 6, 2024.
