Adding GTF MRO repair capability for 235 parts by
2025
SINGAPORE, Feb. 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- (Singapore Airshow) Pratt &
Whitney, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, today announced it is ramping
up the industrialization of repairs for certain components of Pratt
& Whitney GTF™ engines across its Singapore-based maintenance repair and
overhaul (MRO) facilities, including Component Aerospace Singapore,
Pratt & Whitney Component Solutions, and Turbine Overhaul
Services.
Repair industrialization at these three facilities has been
achieved for 33 components, including seal assemblies, high
pressure compressor stator segments and vanes, and combustion
chambers. An additional 25 will be completed in 2024 with another
177 parts by 2025.
"The investment and collaboration on repair development and
capacity growth within our facilities, not just in Singapore but across our global MRO network,
demonstrates our commitment to customers and the GTF fleet," said
Shangari Meleschi, vice president, Aftermarket Operations –
Asia Pacific and Türkiye at Pratt
& Whitney. "In addition to enhancing engine MRO efficiency, we
are increasing the capabilities and productivity of our technicians
and providing new opportunities for them to expand their
skillset."
Pratt & Whitney's industrialization also empowers the three
repair facilities in Singapore to
now perform certain tasks that were previously conducted at Eagle
Services Asia as a result of the close proximity to the
Singapore engine center.
Leveraging this synergy, Pratt & Whitney will extend the repair
offerings developed in Singapore
across the GTF MRO network. Pratt & Whitney currently has 30
GTF customers with over 600 GTF-powered aircraft in the
region.
