Over the past year, Vector services expansion within the European market included the addition of repair and overhaul for the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 engine, and with the recent acquisition of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Part 145 approval rating for all variants of the Rolls-Royce (RR) M250 engine; Vector now offers European in-region repair and overhaul support for those operators from its Fleetlands, United Kingdom facilities.
