GE Aerospace has secured a three-year contract from Boeing Defence UK to continue supporting the T700-GE-T701D engines powering the British Army’s Apache AH-64E helicopter fleet.
Under the Performance Based Logistics agreement, GE Aerospace will provide an on-site Field Service Representative at Wattisham Flying Station in Suffolk, alongside logistics management, technical support and material services for the fleet.
The contract also covers repair and maintenance work for engines and line-replaceable units, which will be carried out by StandardAero at its facility in Gosport, Hampshire.
Paul Ferraro, Vice President and General Manager of Defense Engines & Services at GE Aerospace, said the agreement builds on the company’s longstanding relationship with Boeing Defence and strengthens regional support capabilities for the UK Apache fleet, helping to maintain operational readiness and aircraft availability.
The T700 engine family has accumulated more than 100 million flight hours over the past four decades, with more than 25,000 engines produced. The engines power military platforms in 50 countries and support missions including transport, medical evacuation, air rescue, special operations and maritime patrol.
