OSS gains blisk fan maintenance agreement
P&WC has awarded Overhaul Support Services a contract for the overhaul and repair of its PW800 engine blisk fans.

Overhaul Support Services (OSS), the MRO division of TIGHITCO in East Granby, Connecticut, has been awarded a new agreement by Pratt & Whitney for the overhaul and repair of blisk fans for its PW800 series engines. This programme marks the first repair agreement between OSS and P&Ws Bridgeport, West Virginia division.

"We are thrilled to have earned the approval of Pratt & Whitney for this new agreement," says vice president and general manager Shawn Hawks. "This partnership is a testament to our team's expertise and dedication to providing high-quality MRO services. We are excited to expand our relationship with Pratt & Whitney and look forward to supporting its PW800 series engines."

The PW800 series engines are used in a variety of aircraft, including Gulfstream business jets. As part of the agreement, OSS will provide overhaul and repair services for the blisk fans, which are critical components of the engines. This new partnership will allow Pratt & Whitney to benefit from OSS's extensive experience and capabilities in MRO services, while also providing OSS with the opportunity to expand its customer base.

"We are proud to be selected by Pratt & Whitney for this important programme," says Craig Zysk, group vice president of TIGHITCO's sales and business development. "Our team in East Granby is well-equipped and ready to support the PW800 series engines with our modern facilities and highly skilled technicians. We are committed to delivering exceptional service and value to our customers, and we are confident that this partnership will be a success."
