With over 64,000 units produced and powering more than 155 different aircraft types, the PT6 engine family plays a critical role in business aviation.

Gama Aviation Engineering has signed a new premium service provider agreement with Pratt & Whitney Canada Customer Service Centre Europe. The agreement formally recognises Gama Aviation as an authorised service provider for the PT6A series of engines, one of the most widely used and trusted turboprop powerplants in the world.

The PT6 engine family, with over 64,000 units produced and powering more than 155 aircraft types, continues to play a critical role in business aviation, special mission and regional operations. By aligning closely with Pratt & Whitney Canada CSC Europe, Gama Aviation can provide OEM-approved engine maintenance, mobile repair services, hot section inspections and rapid AOG support to operators across the UK, Europe and the Middle East.

“The PT6 is one of the most important engines in aviation. This agreement allows us to provide OEM-approved support quickly and effectively, wherever our clients need it,” says Paul Kinch, managing director, MRO at Gama Aviation.

The agreement reinforces Gama Aviation’s long-term commitment to expanding its engine support services alongside its wider MRO capabilities, which include heavy maintenance, component workshops and mobile service teams. It also ensures that Gama Aviation’s engineering teams have direct access to Pratt & Whitney Canada’s technical data, tooling and support network, delivering high levels of safety, compliance and turnaround performance for PT6 operators.
