Pratt & Whitney, an RTX business, and SR Technics have inducted the first Pratt & Whitney GTF engine at the MRO service provider's Zurich-based facility. 

 

SR Technics will provide full disassembly, assembly and test capability for the PW1100G-JM engine for the Airbus A320neo aircraft family.

 

"Today, we extend our relationship with SR Technics, which began 35 years ago with maintenance on the PW4000 engine," said Marc Meredith, vice president of commercial aftermarket for GTF engines at Pratt & Whitney. "With their top-tier performance history, SR Technics will continue to deliver industry-leading services providing vital support for the expanding GTF fleet."

 

Expanding GTF MRO capacity

Pratt & Whitney is committed to expanding GTF MRO capacity with industry-leading providers such as SR Technics to support the growing aftermarket demand. In 2023 alone, Pratt & Whitney announced three GTF MRO facility expansions and six shop activations to support the growing GTF fleet. SR Technics, which joined the Pratt & Whitney GTF MRO network in 2022, marks the 17th active location and the seventh facility in Europe.

 

"With the first induction of the GTF engine, we are fulfilling our strategy to continuously expand our capabilities," said Owen McClave, chief executive officer at SR Technics. "In maintaining the GTF engine, we will not only be able to support more global customers, but we are also adding to the skillset of our talented employees in Zurich."

 

The GTF MRO network is part of Pratt & Whitney EngineWise solutions which provide operators with a full range of aftermarket services resulting in long-term, sustainable value.--TradeArabia News Service
