Clean as a Whistle

AMSTERDAM -- Pratt & Whitney signed a three-year deal with Martinair to provide EcoPower engine wash services for the Dutch carrier's entire fleet of PW4000, CF6 and V2500 engines. The work will be performed at Schiphol. P&W said the fleet-wide engine wash program will improve engine performance and has the potential to provide the airline with $2.3 million a year in fuel savings. Earlier this year, the engine OEMRO announced plans to establish its first European EcoPower service center station at Schiphol with Martinair as its Eur opean launch customer.
