AirBaltic CE: PW1500G spare engine supply for CS300 improved
AirBaltic CE Martin Gauss said there is a now a sufficient supply of Pratt & Whitney PW1500G spare engines as the airline continues to have to replace engines on wing earlier than planned. AirBaltic, launch customer of the Bombardier CS300, took delivery of the eighth aircraft late last week. It has an order for 12 more aircraft, which will be delivered between now and the end of 2019 and is looking at buying more. However, entry into service has been less than smooth because of reliability issues affecting the engine, forcing it to replace the engines early. The problems were initially compounded by the lack of spare engines as Pratt struggled to ramp up production fast enough. At least that problem as now been addressed, although Gauss still expects the replacements to continue for some time. <br/>
