Gulf Helicopters to Provide Pratt & Whitney Canada MRT service in Middle East

Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) has expanded on-wing mobile repair team (MRT) capabilities and line maintenance options for operators of its PT6T, PT6C and PW207E helicopter engines in the Middle East. P&WC’s Customer Service Centre – Europe is welcoming Gulf Helicopters Company (GHC), as a Premium Service Provider in the region. GHC will be able to serve operators throughout the Middle East from its base in Doha, State of Qatar. “A number of our PT6T engines (powering the Bell 212/412) and PT6C engines (powering the AW139) located in the Middle East are actually owned by GHC,” says Tim Swail, Vice President, Customer Programs, P&WC. “By being part of our Premium Service Providers network, GHC will be able to perform its own on-wing line maintenance on its P&WC-powered fleet and also offer its services to other operators in the region on behalf of P&WC’s Customer Service Centre – Europe.”
