V2500

[AIR_NEW_ZEALAND_A320]

I see The Christchurch Engine Centre is going to start to build the new MRO facility for the next generation V2500 (A1 - A5) and say the facility will be open in early 2004. (just after the arrival of Air New Zealands first Airbus 320). Pratt & Whitney and Air New Zealand Ltd began this joint venture in April 2001, to provide engine overhaul and repair services for all Pratt & Whitney JT8D, Rolls-Royce Dart and International Aero Engines (IAE) V2500 engines. They have customers ranging from Fed-ex and Hawian airlines to DHL and Airwork New Zealand.

I wish they would start a line for the Pratt & Whitney Canada -127 engine which unfortunately they do not do here in Christchurch.
