P&WC continues global service network expansion

Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) has announced at LABACE 2017 that it has appointed its second Designated Maintenance Facility (DMF), RICO Taxi Aéreo (RICO), under the company’s new global network expansion model. Based in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, RICO will serve customers of PT6A engines which power Cessna Caravan and Embraer Bandeirante aircraft. The DMF will help grow P&WC’s local footprint in Brazil by providing customers with increased availability and accessibility to a broad array of P&WC maintenance services, tools, and spare parts designed to deliver faster service. RICO joins newly appointed ABA (ABA Manutencao de Aeronaves LTDA., Barreiras, Brazil) to serve P&WC customers in the country.
