Prince Aviation's technician team handled eight engine swaps in five days at its Belgrade headquarters.

European MRO Provider Prince Aviation, which specializes in Cessna Citation business jets, recently completed a milestone task by performing a complete engine swap on four Citation XLS+s in just five days. All eight Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545C engines among the four twinjets were replaced as part of scheduled overhaul work.

According to the Serbia-based company, engine replacement is a critical task that demands the involvement of experienced mechanics who must carry out an independent inspection of each engine installation and its systems. To achieve this assignment, 24 technicians worked directly on the aircraft each day, supported by the company’s planning, logistics, technical administration, and maintenance organization teams—more than 30 people in total.
