Maintenance and Modifications
Beechcraft, Pratt Join for Wheels Up King Air 350i Support

One result of the huge deal to sell up to 105 Beechcraft King Air 350i twin-turboprops to the new Wheels Up private charter membership company is that a comprehensive plan was required to support servicing of the airframes and engines. Thus both Hawker Beechcraft Global Customer Support (HBGCS) and Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) signed a long-term service agreement with Wheels Up here in Las Vegas on the eve of the show, covering support of the Wheels Up King Air 350i fleet and their PT6A-60A engines, respectively. Airframe work will be done at HBGCS facilities, with much of the work centered at Beechcraft’s Wilmington, Del. maintenance facility. Engine work will be done at P&WC network engine shops.
