Pratt & Whitney, an RTX business, received Embraer’s 2026 Best Supplier of the Year award in the Outstanding Collaboration category. The recognition honors the company’s production and aftermarket support for PW1900G engines powering Embraer’s E2 aircraft, including the E190-E2 and E195-E2 models.
The award was presented during the 2026 Embraer Suppliers Conference, where Embraer acknowledged suppliers across 10 categories for their role in operational efficiency and 2025 performance. Pratt & Whitney’s efforts include consistent execution and supply-chain alignment that supported the E2 fleet’s operational performance last year.
Pratt & Whitney anticipates full engine availability for the Embraer E2 fleet by the end of 2026. The company is expanding GTF maintenance, repair, and overhaul capacity and integrating select GTF Advantage hot section technologies into PW1900G engines to improve durability and time on wing. This involves MRO cooperation with Embraer’s OGMA facility in Europe.
