ITP Aero has extended its maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services contract with Pratt & Whitney Canada, an RTX business, for the mid-turbine frame (MTF) and low-pressure compressor (LPC) modules of the PW800 engine. This agreement, effective until 2028, aligns with ITP Aero's strategic focus on expanding its presence in the MRO market and enhancing aftermarket capabilities for key engine platforms currently in operation.
The extension builds on the contract signed in 2021, which marked ITP Aero's first MRO contract with civil programmes as a risk and revenue sharing partner (RRSP). This earlier contract also established ITP Aero as the exclusive supplier of original equipment MRO services for the MTF and LPC modules of these engines.
For the PW800 engine family, ITP Aero is responsible for the design, development, production, and assembly of the LPC and MTF modules. The PW800 engines power the Gulfstream G500 with the PW814GA, the Gulfstream G600 with the PW815GA, and Dassault's 6X with the PW812D. The PW812GA will also power the Gulfstream 400 aircraft.
The PW800-engine family represents the latest technological advancements and is the most modern, efficient, and environmentally responsible engine in its class. It delivers double-digit improvements in fuel consumption, emissions, and noise compared to the current generation of engines, and offers 40% less scheduled maintenance and 20% fewer inspections than other engines in its class.
