Jet2.com has selected an engine under its Pratt & Whitney fleet management program agreement for installation of the airline’s first Pratt & Whitney Global Material Solutions (GMS) life limited parts at the Pratt & Whitney Norway Engine Center. Pratt & Whitney received European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) approval for all 19 GMS CFM56-3 engine life limited parts late last year. The installation will introduce the industry’s first EASA-approved, alternative life limited parts. Pratt & Whitney is a United Technologies Corp company.
Chief executive officer of Jet2.com Philip Meeson announced “With the introduction of the GMS rotating parts, we are getting dependable power from Pratt & Whitney at a competitive cost, “This allows us to pass on the cost savings to our customers.”
Vice president, Product Line Management, Pratt & Whitney Commercial Engines and Global Services Andrew Tanner, stated. “Aircraft operators are looking for customized solutions that deliver the best value possible,” said “Our FAA and EASA certified CFM56-3 engine life limited parts provide extraordinary value with OEM-quality at significant savings.”
EASA approval of GMS life limited parts follows the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) issuance of Supplemental Type Certificates for GMS CFM56-3 engine life limited parts in May-08. The EASA certification enables Pratt & Whitney to deliver its CFM56-3 life limited parts to European customers.
Global Material Solutions was publicly launched in February 2006. Jet2.com is the GMS European launch customer. Jet2.com, a subsidiary of the Dart Group PLC, is a British low-cost airline based in Leeds, England. Through its commitment and reliable service, Jet2.com has developed a reputation as an airline that offers a sought-after blend of low prices coupled with high customer service standards.
