Growth Expected To Be Accomplished By 2020
The global network of maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facilities that service Pratt & Whitney's GTF engines will expand to eight engine centers by 2020, the company has announced.
GTF engines are currently maintained by a network of the industry's leading MRO companies, including Pratt & Whitney, MTU Aero Engines (MTU), Japanese Aero Engines Corporation (JAEC) and Lufthansa Technik (LHT). As engine volume grows, the network will continue to expand to include other worldwide airline and MRO facilities, most recently with the addition of Delta TechOps.
