East Hartford aerospace manufacturer Pratt & Whitney’s Turkish Engine Center has extended an engine maintenance contract for up to five years with Turkish Airlines.
The Istanbul airline has selected the engine center, a joint venture between Pratt & Whitney, a division of Farmington-based United Technologies Corp., and Turkish Technic, for up to a five-year service agreement for the airline’s engine overhaul requirements. Turkish Airlines is the parent company of Turkish Technic.
The center, which started operations in 2010 and draws on decades of maintenance experience from both Pratt & Whitney and Turkish Airlines, has delivered more than 600 engines to date.
