Pratt & Whitney and SR Technics induct first GTF engine

Pratt & Whitney and SR Technics have announced the induction of the first Pratt & Whitney GTF™ engine at the MRO service provider’s Zurich-based facility. SR Technics will provide full disassembly, assembly, and test capability for the PW1100G-JM engine for the Airbus A320neo aircraft family.

Pratt & Whitney is committed to expanding GTF MRO capacity with industry-leading providers such as SR Technics to support the growing aftermarket demand. In 2023 alone, Pratt & Whitney announced three GTF MRO facility expansions and six shop activations to support the growing GTF fleet. SR Technics, which joined the Pratt & Whitney GTF MRO network in 2022, marks the 17th active location and the seventh facility in Europe.

“Our team has just completed Pratt & Whitney’s heavy maintenance training programme and has received the Federal Office of Civil Aviation’s EASA authority approval for GTF engine maintenance,” said Owen McClave, CEO at SR Technics. “The disassembly of the first GTF engine at SR Technics’ shop has begun. We are delighted to become a contributor to the GTF network. We are an engines-focused business, and this is an important milestone for our company. The overhaul of geared turbofan engines strengthens our expertise in the world’s most innovative technologies, so our current and future customers can continue to rely completely on our top-level service. With this, SR Technics is on a secure path of capabilities’ growth and further developing our skill set.”
