ITP Aero has signed a five-year agreement with Pratt & Whitney to provide advanced repair services for the TIC Vane Pack components in PW1500G and PW1900G engines from the Geared Turbofan (GTF) family. This deal positions ITP Aero’s Ajalvir, Spain facility as the 21st in Pratt & Whitney’s global GTF MRO network and the eighth in Europe.
The Madrid-based center will deliver full maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services plus engine testing for the PW1500G powering Airbus A220 aircraft and PW1900G equipping Embraer E-Jets E2. First shop entries are scheduled for early 2027.
This expansion strengthens ITP Aero’s role in the GTF program, supporting Pratt & Whitney’s worldwide repair network amid rising demand for these fuel-efficient engines. The TIC Vane Pack repairs will cover the entire GTF fleet, enhancing operational reliability for regional jets.
ITP Aero’s Ajalvir site already handles repairs for other GTF variants like the PW1100G-JM, consolidating its expertise in advanced component overhauls. The agreement bolsters Europe’s MRO capacity, critical for fleet uptime as A220 and E-Jets E2 production ramps up.
