GE Aerospace has granted aircraft engine and components manufacturer ITP Aero a service contract extension to conduct MRO services for CT7 engines at its facility in Albacete, Spain.
ITP Aero’s scope of work includes research and development, manufacturing and assembly and testing of aircraft engines, as well as MRO services for a wide range aerospace customers.
“We are pleased to continue our service arrangement with ITP Aero who has been a proven customer service leader for our CT7 customers for over a decade,” says Elissa Lee, Director of GE Aerospace’s Commercial Turboshaft Engines.
With more than 100 million flight hours, GE’s CT7/T700 family of turboshaft and turboprop engines reside across the globe in every environment an aircraft can operate. Among these engines, the CT7-2 is known for its rugged, fuel-efficient and exceptional performance and provides reliable power to helicopters used in a variety of roles from executive transport to fire fighting and rescue.
Meanwhile, the CT7-8 is a family of powerful engines designed to meet the demanding mission needs of modern military medium and commercial heavy-lift helicopters throughout the world.
With 4,700 employees and facilities in Spain, UK, Mexico, Malta and India, ITP Aero develops technology to drive the aerospace industry towards a more sustainable future. The development of its own technology is its main competitive advantage. Approximately half of the world’s aircraft are equipped with ITP Aero products.
ITP Aero is a founding member of the EU Clean Aviation programme and the first Spanish aerospace company to commit to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, in line with the UN Race to Zero initiative.
