RTX business Pratt & Whitney and SR Technics have announced the induction of the first Geared Turbofan (GTF) engine at the MRO service provider's Zurich facility. The facility will provide full disassembly, assembly, and test capability for the PW1100G engine for the Airbus A320neo family.

"Today, we extend our relationship with SR Technics, which began 35 years ago with maintenance on the PW4000 engine," said Marc Meredith, vice president of commercial aftermarket for GTF engines at Pratt & Whitney, on the eve of Farnborough International Airshow. "With their top-tier performance history, SR Technics will continue to deliver industry-leading services providing vital support for the expanding GTF fleet."

Pratt & Whitney plans to expand GTF MRO capacity with several providers to meet 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 joined Pratt & Whitney's GTF MRO network in 2022 and now marks its 17th active location and its seventh facility in Europe.

"With the first induction of the GTF engine, we are fulfilling our strategy to expand our capabilities continuously," said SR Technics CEO Owen McClave. "In maintaining the GTF engine, we will not only be able to support more global customers but we are also adding to the skillset of our talented employees in Zurich."

Pratt & Whitney stated that its EngineWise solutions, which include the GTF MRO service network, offer operators a range of aftermarket services aimed at promoting long-term sustainable value.

Headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, RTX employs 185,000 people worldwide and operates three aviation defense, engineering, and technology businesses—Raytheon Technologies (RTX), Collins Aerospace, and Pratt & Whitney.
