Blackhawk Performance Upgrades Delivered to Bromma Air

Blackhawk delivers two King Air® 200 XP61 performance upgrades to Bromma Air Maintenance

Blackhawk Modifications, Inc. (BMI) and Bromma Air Maintenance AB today announced delivery of two XP61 engine upgrade systems to Bromma Air Maintenance for its flight operations fleet of Beechcraft King Air® B200s. Stockholm, Sweden-based Bromma Air Maintenance will lease the Blackhawk-equipped King Air® 200s to the Swedish Civil Aviation Authority in support of calibration flights in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, Lithuania, Spain and Iraq.

Marcus Lonn, Bromma Air Maintenance AB’s Director of Sales said,

“As an authorized Blackhawk distributor, upgrading our fleet was a logical, long-term investment. We spend thousands of hours performing these calibration flights — and the XP61 upgrade provides a great advantage that will benefit us economically and with improved performance.”

Blackhawk’s XP61 upgrade replaced the stock Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) PT6A-42 turboprop engines on Bromma Air Maintenance’s King Air® B200s with two factory-new, PT6A-61 engines, including new-engine warranties from P&WC. No airframe modifications are required for the XP61 upgrade, which has received Supplemental Type Certificate approval from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, European Aviation Safety Agency and Brazil’s Agencia Nacional de Aviacao Civil.

Bobby Patton, Blackhawk’s VP of International Sales said,

“Blackhawk and Bromma Air Maintenance have a longstanding relationship and commitment to the King Air® community in Europe. We are proud to partner with them and know these more capable aircraft will serve them well for many years to come.”
