Jeff Poirier, president of Vector Aerospace Engine Services -Atlantic, says the PT6A Customer Day event was a huge success.
“The event was an excellent opportunity for existing and potential customers to learn more about the PT6A turboprop engine and meet with true turboprop experts,” said Poirier.
“We were very fortunate to have a representative from P&WC’s customer service team, along with members from Vector’s team on hand during the Customer Day to discuss the PT6A engine and to provide a complete overview of the engine’s operation and maintenance.”
Theo Prinsloo, military contracts manager with Execujet South Africa, says he enjoyed the opportunity to network with other people in the aircraft engine industry.
“I also received very positive feedback from technicians who were in attendance regarding the technical content provided during the day. I sincerely congratulate Vector Aerospace for hosting such a terrific event.”
