Pratt & Whitney, an RTX business, is significantly expanding its global GTF engine maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) network through new and extended partnerships with Sanad Group, MTU Aero Engines (MTU) and Delta TechOps.
Sanad Group—wholly owned by Abu Dhabi's sovereign investor Mubadala Investment Company PJSC—will become the first GTF MRO network member in South Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. Its new state-of-the-art facility in Al Ain, expected to be completed by 2028, will offer full MRO and test capabilities for PW1100G-JM and PW1500G engines (for the Airbus A320neo and A220 families), as well as the PW1900G engine for the Embraer E-Jet E2. This partnership further strengthens the strategic relationship between RTX and the UAE.
In support of growing global demand, Pratt & Whitney and MTU have agreed to expand GTF overhaul capacity across all MTU facilities. Annual capacity will rise to 600 shop visits, positioning MTU as one of the largest providers in the GTF MRO network.
In parallel, Pratt & Whitney and Delta TechOps will expand overhaul capacity at the Atlanta facility by more than 30% over the next decade, allowing for up to 450 engine overhauls annually. This makes Delta TechOps one of the largest member facilities in the global network.
These partnerships underscore Pratt & Whitney's commitment to strengthening global GTF support and ensuring reliable, scalable service for operators worldwide.
