"Pratt & Whitney Canada's ESP Program has now enrolled 3,000 business aviation engines," stated Virgili. "Add the engines enrolled in all P&WC-backed hourly cost programs and that number grows to nearly 7,000.  The annual double-digit percentage growth in hourly-program enrolment we have experienced this decade clearly demonstrates that our ESP Program and other plans meet a market need and are offering customers outstanding value." 

Dr. Alper, has been flying turbine aircraft for the last 15 years. "Choosing P&WC's ESP Program was easy for me," he said. "I believe in having the best engine 'insurance policy' out there. I don't worry about engine costs and my budget is known. I enjoy investing in my engines as I go, rather than worrying over unforeseen engine-maintenance issues that may arise. Peace of mind is important to me."
