TAM currently operates 11 A330-200s with Pratt & Whitney PW4168A model engines. These engines are covered by an exclusive service agreement provided by Pratt & Whitney Global Service Partners.
David Neto, president and CEO of TAM Linhas Aereas, said: "We work hard to keep the operating costs for our fleet of A330-200 aircraft controlled with maintenance agreements such as this one. Having equipment operating at optimum levels helps to keep assets in service and avoid costly break downs."
Tom Hutton, vice president of Pratt & Whitney Global Repair Services, said: "TAM has been a very successful airline in Latin America and a market leader in Brazil and we are pleased that TAM will benefit from our composite repair capabilities on thrust reversers.
"Arrangements such as this help to control costs for customers by allowing us to perform more precise planning and to identify operational efficiencies. Building on the success of the concept, plans are in place to expand the arrangement to cover additional nacelle components."
