Pratt & Whitney's Singapore Engine Center named center of excellence for GP7200 low pressure compressor overhauls

Pratt & Whitney Eagle Services Asia (ESA), has been named as a center of excellence for GP7200 low pressure compressor (LPC) overhauls by the Engine Alliance (EA). ESA will support Airbus A380 operators around the globe with the first shop visits scheduled for LPC performance restoration. As a center of excellence, ESA will be responsible for disassembly, assembly and balancing of the LPC, which involves maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) for the five-stage low-pressure compressor, fan hub, drum, blades and stator assembly. ESA already performs heavy maintenance on GE90 and PW4000 engines, the two designs which formed the foundation of the GP7200 engine.
