StandardAero is commemorating 50 years of supporting Pratt &amp; Whitney Canada’s (P&amp;WC) JT15D turbofan engine family that has powered Cessna Citation and Hawker business jets. More than 6,700 JT15D turbofans have been produced over the past five decades, equipping Citation I/II/V/Ultra and Hawker Beechjet 400 business jets along with trainer aircraft, demonstrators, and unmanned aerial vehicles.
Dallas Airmotive—which StandardAero acquired in 2021—became a P&amp;WC-designated overhaul facility for the JT15D in 1974. Now, StandardAero additionally supports the JT15D at its overhaul facility on Prince Edward Island in Canada as well as through 10 service centers across the U.S., Brazil, the UK, Singapore, and &nbsp;Australia.
StandardAero also maintains P&amp;WC PW300 and PW500 business jet engines at its Dallas-Fort Worth facility.
“StandardAero is proud to support the global JT15D operator community with cost-effective maintenance, repair, and overhaul support for this popular powerplant,” said Jeff Poirier, v-p and general manager of the turboprops and fleets business unit for StandardAero. “With over 2,000 JT15D-powered aircraft still in service, StandardAero’s network of engine facilities ensures that operators are still able to depend on a reliable source of engine MRO, both today and tomorrow.”
