US-based Pratt & Whitney, a leading aerospace manufacturer with global service operations, said it has signed an EngineWise Comprehensive service agreement with Spanish airline Binter Canarias.

The agreement will cover Binter Canarias' fleet of three Embraer E195-E2 aircraft powered by Pratt & Whitney Geared Turbofan (GTF) PW1900G engines.

It also includes the purchase of one PW1900G spare engine, said a statement from Pratt & Whitney, a division of United Technologies Corp.
 
Pedro Agustín Del Castillo, chief executive officer, Binter Canarias, said: “We will be able to manage our fleet more efficiently through Pratt & Whitney's EngineWise services portfolio.”

“With our new GTF-powered E195-E2 aircraft, we look forward to maintaining a strong, long-standing relationship with Pratt & Whitney,” he added.

Binter Canarias is a current operator of ATR 72-500 and ATR 72-600 aircraft powered by Pratt & Whitney PW100 turboprop engines and will begin operation of the Embraer E195-E2 in the second half of 2019.

Rick Deurloo, senior vice president - sales, marketing and customer support, Pratt & Whitney, said: “We appreciate Binter Canarias' confidence in our company’s products and services.”

“EngineWise encompasses all the initiatives we have to help customers optimise engine performance and keep their fleets running smoothly. We look forward to guiding Binter through their transition to the GTF,” he concluded. – TradeArabia News Service
