ONTIC, a global aerospace OEM, providing complex engineered parts and repair services for established aircraft in the defence and commercial market, and Boeing have entered into an exclusive agreement, expanding Boeing’s distribution of approximately 1,000 additional actuation and propulsion system products.
Continuing to strengthen its exclusive distributor relationship with ONTIC, Boeing will now incorporate the TRAS (thrust reverser actuation system) and PECU (propeller electronic control unit) product lines into its offerings through a new ten-year distribution agreement. These additions encompass around 1,000 actuation and propulsion system products across various aircraft platforms.
“We are thrilled to announce this significant milestone in our partnership with ONTIC,” said Travis Sullivan, Vice President and General Manager, Boeing Distribution. “This collaboration not only expands our product offerings, but also reinforces our commitment to delivering world-class support to our engine operators.”
The TRAS product line caters to engines and aircraft platforms including the GE CF6-50/80 (A300/310/330, B747/767, DC10, KC10, MD11, VC-25A, C-5M, C-2), GE CF-34 (CL600/CRJ Series), Rolls Royce RB 211 (747-400), Rolls Royce Trent 900, and GE GP700 (A380).
The PECU serves as a crucial LRU (Line Replaceable Unit) for the Dowty R408 series propeller system, employed in the De Havilland Canada DHC-8/Q400.
Boeing’s distribution portfolio for ONTIC also encompasses fuel controls, actuation, MWD (memory wheel device), lighting, interior electronics, wipers product lines, and business and general aviation displays for a variety of civil and military aircraft platforms.
“As we continue to grow our product-line portfolio, we need a partner that can grow with us. Boeing’s breadth and depth of network ensures our customers will get the right part at the right time,” said Brian Sartain, ONTIC’s Chief Operating Officer. “Delivering parts to our airline customers on time and ensuring the highest level of quality is our highest priority. Boeing is a trusted partner in the aftermarket with customer relationships that span the globe.”
