Tags :Southeast Asia, Jetstar Asia


Jetstar Asia Airways has selected Pratt & Whitney Global Service Partners for a three-year engine maintenance contract for the carrier’s fleet of A320 V2500-A5 engines. Terms and conditions will be concluded over the next six months as part of an exclusive Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed at the Singapore Airshow.

 

Once a definitive agreement is reached, Jetstar Asia’s engines will be serviced at the Christchurch Engine Centre, which is a Pratt & Whitney Global Service Partners and Air New Zealand JV company. The first engine is scheduled to be overhauled in Mar-08.

The Christchurch Engine Centre was formed in 2001 as a joint venture between Pratt & Whitney and Air New Zealand.  The centre overhauls IAE V2500 engines, Pratt & Whitney JT8D engines and the Rolls Royce Dart Engines.
