Malaysia Airlines Awards Pratt & Whitney $550 Million Fleet Management Program

Malaysia Airlines has signed an exclusive, 10-year Fleet Management Program (FMP) agreement with Pratt & Whitney to maintain its fleet of 43 PW4170 installed engines and spare engines.

The agreement, which includes an option to extend the contract for up to five additional years, is valued at approximately $550 million.

“Pratt & Whitney’s maintenance program will maximize the performance and reliability of our engines while providing predictable maintenance costs to us,” said Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, Malaysia Airlines Group chief executive officer. “This will allow MAS to fly without disruption and continue providing superior service to our valued customers.”

The Pratt & Whitney engines power Malaysia Airlines’ fleet of A330 aircraft.

Malaysia Airlines, the country's national carrier, flies around 47,000 passengers daily to 60 destinations worldwide.
