ITP Aero extends MRO contract with Pratt & Whitney Canada

ITP Aero has announced the extension of its maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services contract with Pratt & Whitney Canada, an RTX business, for the mid turbine frame (MTF) and low-pressure compressor (LPC) modules of the PW800 engine. This agreement, effective until 2028, aligns with ITP Aero’s strategic focus on expanding its presence in the MRO market and enhancing aftermarket capabilities for key engine platforms currently in operation.

This agreement is an extension of the contract signed by both companies in 2021, which marked the first MRO contract with civil programmes in which ITP Aero is a risk and revenue partner (RRSP). This contract also positioned ITP Aero as the exclusive supplier of original equipment MRO services for the MTF and LPC modules of these engines. 

For the PW800 engine family, ITP Aero is responsible for the design, development, production, and assembly of the LPC and MTF modules.

PW800 engines power the Gulfstream G500 aircraft with the PW814GA, the Gulfstream G600 aircraft with the PW815GA and Dassault’s 6X with the PW812D. The PW812GA will also power the Gulfstream 400 aircraft.

The PW800 engine family embodies the latest advances in technology and is the most modern, efficient and environmentally responsible engine in its class. It offers double-digit improvements in fuel burn, emissions and noise as compared to the current generation of engines. It also offers 40% less scheduled maintenance and 20% fewer inspections than other engines in its class.

Mikel Lantero, Executive Director of ITP Aero’s Civil business unit, commented: “This milestone adds to our long-standing collaboration with Pratt & Whitney and is in line with our strategy to grow our aftermarket capabilities on some of the most important engine platforms currently in service. I am confident that our maintenance services will bring added value to Pratt & Whitney; both companies share strong synergies, and I am convinced that we will continue to leverage our shared capabilities going forward”.
