Pratt & Whitney Canada’s PW800 engine family has passed 600,000 flight hours, powering aircraft from two major OEMs in the business jet sector. The PW800-powered Gulfstream G500 entered service in 2018, the G600 in 2019 and the Dassault Falcon 6X in 2023.

“With over 700 engines in service for 250 operators around the world benefitting from the exceptional performance and operating advantages of the PW800 engine, it delivers unmatched efficiency, lower emissions and a quieter, more comfortable cabin experience,” says Andrew Waterston, vice president, sales and marketing, business aviation, Pratt & Whitney Canada. “Surpassing 600,000 flying hours in just a few years is a testament to the confidence our customers have in this engine and underscores how the PW800 continues to raise the bar for innovation, dependability and value for operators worldwide.”

The PW800 offers double-digit improvements in fuel burn and noise compared to previous-generation engines, and can operate on a 50% blend of kerosene and SAF. With dispatch reliability above 99.98%, it requires 40% less scheduled maintenance and 20% fewer inspections than others in its class.

Pratt & Whitney Canada’s PW800 Eagle Service Plan is a pay-per-hour maintenance programme that protects and enhances asset and resale value. It increases aircraft availability and enables predictive maintenance using advanced analytics for tailored on-condition management.

In 2025, the company expanded its PW800 MRO capabilities with MTU Maintenance’s new Berlin-Brandenburg shop, a new high-speed MRO line in Burlington, Vermont, and continued operation of its facility in Bridgeport, West Virginia.
