StandardAero has signed an exclusive long-term contract with Fort Lauderdale-based Silver Airways for Pratt & Whitney PW127M engine support. Silver Airways is an Amerian, independent regional airline and StandardAero will provide it with comprehensive engine services in support of its fleet of brand-new ATR -600 regional turboprops, including responsive overhaul-level support from StandardAero’s Summerside, PE, Canada location.
In addition, Silver Airways will benefit from access to StandardAero’s North American network of service centers and mobile repair teams (MRTs). StandardAero will also be supporting the airline with engine condition trend monitoring (ECTM) services, which provide proactive real-time engine maintenance recommendations, thereby maximizing the operational availability of Silver’s fleet.
Silver Airways is the U.S. launch customer for the ATR -600 series, and earlier this year the airline became the first U.S. carrier to take delivery of an ATR 42-600. Silver Airways plans to introduce up to 50 ATR -600 series aircraft, including an initial order for 20 ATR 42-600 aircraft leased from Nordic Aviation Capital. Silver Airways has up-gauged certain deliveries to the larger 70-seat ATR 72-600 And the new ATR -600 series fleet will allow it to expand service for travelers on existing routes in Florida and the Southeastern United States, the Bahamas and other islands in the Caribbean.
