NACIL inks agreement with Pratt & Whitney

Mumbai: National Aviation Company of India Ltd (NACIL) which operates the Air India brand, today said it has signed an agreement with aircraft engine-maker, Pratt & Whitney, to set up an engine-wash facility at the city's international airport.
Besides engine-wash of the flag-carrier's aircraft, the facility, to be set up at the Mumbai International airport, would also undertake work from third parties, a company press release said here.
Pratt & Whitney is a division of the US-based United Technologies Corp. It runs the service under the brand name, EcoPower engine wash service.
The company claims that its EcoPower engine wash system reduces fuel burn by as much as 1.2 per cent, eliminating three pounds of carbon dioxide emissions for every pound of fuel saved, while also decreasing engine gas temperature thus increasing the amount of time an engine can stay on wing.
