Vector`s JT15D VMAX programme is the evolution for JT15D customer support in servicing engines in this market. There are approximately 5,250 JT15D engines in service today, major applications for the type including the Cessna Citation I / II / V / Ultra series and the Hawker 400 / Beechjet family.

As a further demonstration of its commitment to operators of the JT15D, Vector has also extended its DOF license for the engine by a further 10 years, to 2032. This undertaking ensures that VMAX customers can be confident of benefitting from Vector’s long-term support of the JT15D powerplant.

"We are also proud of our long-running relationship with P&WC, not only as a DOF on the JT15D series but also as a DOF on the PW100, PW150, PW300 engine families and as a Distributor & Designated Overhaul Facility (DDOF) on the PT6A and PT6T engine families."
