News Review: P&W Canada establishes new parts centre in Sydney | ADM Nov 08

Pratt & Whitney Canada has established a new parts distribution centre (PDC) in Sydney to speed delivery times to customers in Australia and New Zealand.

The company’s PT-6 engines power Pilatus PC-9 turboprop trainers and Beechcraft Kingair transport aircraft, as well as the PC-21 trainers operated by the Republic of Singapore Air Force at RAAF Base Pearce, WA.

“This is the third PDC we have deployed worldwide as part of our aftermarket strategy to extend our global footprint to meet our customers' requirements and keep them flying,” said Maria Della Posta, vice president, Customer Support, P&WC.

P&WC's new PDC in Australia will complement a PDC opened in Singapore last year, and in Amsterdam in late 2006.

It will house a range of spare parts, including new parts, exchange accessories and line-replaceable units for all P&WC engine models.

The PDCs are operated by Pratt & Whitney Component Solutions (P&WCS). Parts ordered by phone or email through P&WCS will be dispatched from the closest PDC warehouse.
