GENEVA, May 20, 2019 /CNW/ -- Pratt & Whitney, a
division of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX), announced today
that it is adding three new services to its popular pay-per-hour
engine maintenance program, the Eagle Service™ Plan (ESP™).
Customers with select engine models and ESP™ plans can now benefit
from oil analysis, global engine connectivity and flyaway kits.
"Our customers want to focus on what they do best, flying," said
Timothy Swail, vice president of
customer programs at Pratt & Whitney. "With new services that
provide insight on engines and that can allow customers to fly
longer, we're helping them spend less time on maintenance and more
time in the air."
New services to keep flying longer
The newly added oil analysis technology offered to ESP™
customers is more sensitive than traditional methods, allowing it
to detect deterioration of oil-wetted parts such as carbon seals
hundreds of hours before there could be a potential issue. This
helps to turn around unplanned engine maintenance into scheduled
maintenance, so that customers can better plan their flying time
and costs.
Pratt & Whitney will also provide digital connectivity where
cellular service is available for its ESP™ customers who fly
aircraft with 3G engine health monitoring systems, including the
FAST™ solution. With global cellular coverage, customers can save
time and money, while receiving engine insights and proactive
maintenance recommendations in a timely basis.
Finally, Pratt & Whitney will introduce flyaway kits for
ESP™ Gold customers, with an upgrade available for ESP™ Platinum
customers. The kits contain the most commonly needed engine parts
in the event that one is needed to dispatch the aircraft, providing
peace of mind and the ability to fulfill the mission.
"We're excited to add these benefits to our ESP™ plans," said
Swail. "We're continuing our efforts to bring these benefits to
even more engine models and ESP plans in the future. As always, we
continue to strive for a 100% planned maintenance environment."
