ATLANTA, March 7, 2023 – Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC), a business unit of
Pratt & Whitney, today announced global helicopter distributor Rotortrade has
signed an agreement that will increase the number of helicopter engines the
company will enroll every year to the Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Engine
Program, further supporting the marketability of their helicopters.


“Rotortrade has built its business as the only helicopter dealership that
provides nose-to-tail certified pre-owned helicopters,” said Philippe
Lubrano, CEO and president of Rotortrade. “CPO delivers tangible value to
both sellers and buyers of used helicopters. With a certified engine, buyers
can make decisions with confidence and then fly their newly purchased aircraft
with peace of mind. We are always seeking new and innovative means to deliver
benefits to our customer base and Pratt & Whitney Canada’s CPO program does
exactly that.”


Rotortrade, was one of the first customers of the CPO Engine Program with
Pratt & Whitney Canada in 2018.  All Pratt & Whitney Canada helicopter
engines are eligible for the CPO Engine Program, which offers a
two-year/500-hour warranty. The engine must have been maintained at a
P&WC-owned or designated facility, contain only genuine P&WC parts, and pass a
thorough inspection conducted by a licensed inspector.


Dealers such as Rotortrade can differentiate their inventory by promoting that
their engines come with a P&WC-backed inspection and warranty. Operators can
purchase a pre-owned helicopter with peace of mind and confidence knowing the
aircraft’s engines have the engine manufacturer’s stamp of approval.


“Rotortrade has been a key supporter of the CPO Engine Program, and we are
delighted to further strengthen our relationship with them,” said Irene
Makris, vice president, Customer Service, Pratt & Whitney Canada. “This
program delivers value to both sellers and buyers of used helicopters. Our
relationship with Rotortrade demonstrates our commitment to support customers
with innovative solutions.”


In addition to the warranty, CPO customers are also entitled to:



A credit of up to $15,000 USD towards enrollment in Pratt & Whitney Canada’s
Eagle Service™ Plan (ESP™) engine maintenance program.
A one-year complimentary subscription to the Pratt & Whitney Canada technical
publications maintenance collection.
Discounts on engine maintenance training from Pratt & Whitney Canada’s
global training supplier FlightSafety International.



“The CPO Engine Program is another example of our comprehensive efforts to
support our customers and can provide them with an attractive avenue to
upgrade to an ESP enrollment, which goes well beyond the warranty and provides
long-term peace of mind, predictable maintenance costs, and increased asset
value throughout the lifecycle of their engines,” said Makris.
