It's a momentous occasion for Pratt & Whitney Canada as they extend warm congratulations to the Swiss Air Force for hitting a remarkable milestone: 200,000 flight hours with their trusty fleet of 45 PW206B2 engines, powering 19 Airbus H135 helicopters. It's not just a number; it's a testament to the reliability and sheer power of these engines, showing just how integral they are to critical missions.

The PW200 engine family, including the PW206B2 engines, has been leading the charge in helicopter engine technology right from the start, with integrated digital data capability setting them apart.

For the Swiss Air Force, Pratt & Whitney engines are the beating heart of their fleet. From the rugged PT6A turboprop engine driving iconic aircraft like the Pilatus PC-6 to the cutting-edge F135 engine poised to power the future F-35 fighter jets, Pratt & Whitney's engines are the backbone of their operations.

Nadine Schroeder, communications manager at the Swiss Air Force, knows firsthand the importance of the Airbus H135 helicopters with PW206B2 engines. She speaks passionately about their adaptability and reliability, traits that are absolutely crucial in missions where every second counts.
