TAT Technologies, a prominent supplier of products and services for commercial and military aviation as well as ground defence industries, has signed a new contract with an international commercial carrier to provide MRO services for the GTCP331-500 auxiliary power unit (APU) used on the Boeing 777 aircraft. The agreement spans three years and is valued at approximately US$12 million.
Igal Zamir, CEO of TAT Technologies, highlighted the significance of the contract in reinforcing the company’s position in the APU market. “This new contract further strengthens TAT’s expanding position in the APU market. We continue to build long-term relationships with customers based on our diverse offerings and industry-leading turnaround time,” Zamir said. He emphasised that TAT’s integrated approach, combining MRO services with its leasing business, creates strong synergies that enable deeper market penetration in the half-billion-dollar APU sector.
The GTCP331-500 APU is a critical component of the B777 platform, providing onboard electrical power and environmental control while the aircraft is on the ground. TAT’s expertise in MRO services ensures rapid turnaround times and high reliability, which are essential for commercial operators seeking to maximise aircraft availability and operational efficiency.
Zamir also noted the ongoing strategic collaborations with Honeywell, which have generated tangible revenue opportunities for TAT. The latest contract for the B777 platform demonstrates the effectiveness of these partnerships in expanding the company’s market footprint and securing new business across both commercial and military aviation segments.
