Pratt & Whitney Canada has signed a 15-year maintenance agreement with Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines (SIA) for 24 APS5000 auxiliary power units (APUs) on Scoot’s fleet of Boeing 787 Dreamliner passenger jets.
“This new contract builds on the longstanding relationship we have developed with Scoot,” said Anthony Rossi, vice president, Customer Service, Pratt & Whitney Canada. “The maintenance solutions we provide our customers help ensure the peak performance of the APS5000 APU fleet, delivering predictable maintenance costs, long-term durability and dispatch reliability.”
The advanced design of the all-electric APS5000 delivers improved fuel efficiency, reduced emissions and enhanced maintainability, setting a new benchmark in auxiliary power technology. This maintenance contract helps ensure the APU fleet continues to meet OEM maintenance standards, allowing Scoot to keep its operations running smoothly and focused on delivering a great flying experience.
The APS5000 is the quietest APU in its class with the lowest emissions in the industry. It produces 450kVA of electrical power at sea level and starts and operates up to 43,100 feet. More than 1,400 APS5000 APUs have been manufactured, and the fleet has flown nearly 16 million hours. Pratt & Whitney Canada’s maintenance programs for its APU fleet deliver flexibility and predictable costs while maximizing performance and long maintenance intervals.
