PAL Aerospace to support Canadian CT-142s
PAL Aerospace will support the Royal Canadian Air Force’s (RCAF’s) CT-142 aircraft fleet under a contract announced on 17 July.
The company will provide heavy maintenance services over a four-year period for the fleet, with an additional three year option period.
John Turner, senior vice-president of business development, PAL Aerospace, said: ‘PAL Aerospace appreciates this new opportunity to continue building our relationship as a trusted partner of the RCAF. We understand the important role these aircraft play in training Canada’s next generation of aviation professionals, and we look forward to working closely with the RCAF in ensuring the successful delivery of this contract.’
The CT-142 – a modification of the twin turboprop Dash-8 - is used to train Royal Canadian Air Force air combat systems operators and airborne electronic sensor operators.
