RUAG to maintain Dutch PC-7 training fleet
Following a public tender, RUAG MRO Switzerland has been awarded a contract to support and service the Royal Netherlands Air Force’s (RNLAF’s) fleet of Pilatus PC-7 training aircraft.
The contract appoints RUAG as the main service provider for propellers of the PC-7 until 2022, with the added potential to extend the contract beyond 2026 when the aircraft reaches the end of its life cycle.
Max Grob, business development manager at RUAG Switzerland, said: ‘As a technology partner of the Swiss Army, these synergies in the third market allow us to expand our competencies sustainably and in the long term.’
The RNLAF has worked with RUAG for more than ten years to maintain and support the PC-7.
