"These events give us a chance to reconnect in a meaningful way with our customers, who are the core of our business," says Jeff Poirier, president of ES-A. “Attendees are given the opportunity to learn more about the PT6A turboprop engine and meet with true turboprop experts. We were very fortunate to have a representative from P&WC’s customer service team, along with members from Vector’s team on hand during both events.”
“Capital Airlines Limited wishes to thank ES-A for organizing a very informative and interesting Customer Day for PT6A engine operators in Nairobi,” says Capt.
