Vector Aerospace has launched its Vmax support program for the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D turbofan. It combines the MRO’s JT15D designated overhaul facility (DOF) and global field service team with a pay-per-hour engine service plan. Owners of engines enrolled in the Vmax program receive worldwide coverage through a dedicated 24/7 customer support line and regular monthly hours' reporting.
There are approximately 5,250 JT15D engines in service today, with major emphasis on the Cessna Citation I/II/V/Ultra series and the Beechjet 400/400XP family. Vector also announced it has extended its DOF license for the engine by a further 10 years to 2032 to ensure long-term support for its Vmax customers.
The MRO has a longstanding relationship with P&WC, which includes being a DOF for the PW100, PW150 and PW300 and distributor and designated overhaul facility status for the PT6A and PT6T. The company has facilities in Canada, the U.S., the UK, France, Australia, South Africa, Kenya and Singapore.
