StandardAero announced on December 16, 2024, its selection by the Brazilian Air Force (Força Aérea Brasileira) to provide maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services. This contract covers the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-68C engines that power the Air Force's fleet of Embraer A-29A and A-29B Super Tucano aircraft. The A-29 Super Tucano is used for training, air interception, and surveillance missions.
StandardAero will support the Brazilian Air Force's PT6A-68C engine fleet from its Center of Excellence for Turboprop Engine MRO in Summerside, PE, Canada.
