The new facility also strengthens Kratos’ Bristow, Oklahoma operations, enabling expanded capabilities and improved service delivery for Canadian operators. By investing in advanced technology and increased capacity, Kratos’ Consolidated Turbines divisions in Canada and Oklahoma are better positioned to support its partners with greater responsiveness, reliability, and scalability. This move reflects the company’s dedication to building strong international relationships and providing unmatched support to operators across North America, reinforcing its role as a trusted leader in the PT6T and PT6A industry.
“This move will create seemingly endless possibilities with regards to expansion, employment and in-house capabilities. We are fortunate to have many long-standing Bell Medium customers in Canada, which operate the PT6T model engines. Our goal is to add the fixed wing version (PT6A models) to our quiver in the near future,” said Dave Wark, Director of Kratos MRO Canada.
