In response, Viva indicated that it is collaborating closely with Pratt & Whitney to optimize fleet deployment and speed up turnaround times for grounded engines awaiting shop visits. Concurrently, the engine manufacturer is investing to expand its global maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) network footprint, ramping up output of spare units, and implementing engineering enhancements to improve durability and mitigate prolonged downtime.
