Despite these setbacks, Pratt & Whitney concluded 2024 on a strong note with fourth-quarter sales reaching approximately $7.6 billion, an increase driven by demand from both commercial and military sectors.
Neil Mitchill Jr., RTX's chief financial officer, commented during the company's earnings call that getting more engines into service is beneficial for their fleet as it transitions into the aftermarket services phase: "As you think about the aftermarket phase of the [GTF] fleet today, it's sitting in a really good position."
Looking forward, Mitchill anticipates continued robust demand for spare engines alongside new installations. During discussions about GTF groundings at the earnings call, RTX CEO Chris Calio expressed optimism regarding progress made on resolving these issues: "The supply chain is going to be instrumental in helping us get there."
Calio highlighted improvements such as increased output in structural castings and isothermal forgings essential for incorporating full-life powder metal parts into maintenance operations and new engine deliveries.
Despite these advances, groundings will continue impacting P&W's finances this year; however, plans are underway to increase MRO output by another 30% over last year's figures with aims to return grounded aircraft back into operation promptly.
On a positive front concerning technological advancements within its product line-up—Pratt & Whitney completed testing on their new GTF Advantage engine slated for certification early next year followed by deliveries later this same period—the enhanced powerplant promises better fuel efficiency alongside greater thrust capabilities than current models while maintaining longer service life durations expectedly favored among airlines globally.
Moreover surprising findings indicate potential integration possibilities between certain elements derived originally developed exclusively under Advantage program now possibly being incorporated baseline version offering further enhancements overall performance longevity wise moving ahead according Calio’s remarks during recent analyst session discussing future strategic directions taken firm
