ITP Aero has signed a 10-year agreement with Pratt & Whitney, an RTX business, to provide advanced repair services for key components used in the PW1500G and PW1900G engines, part of the Pratt & Whitney GTF™ engine family. The long-term partnership strengthens ITP Aero’s role in the global maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) network while expanding support for the growing fleet of GTF-powered aircraft worldwide.
Under the agreement, ITP Aero will carry out the repair work at its Ajalvir facility near Madrid, Spain. The company will provide full repair capability for the Inner Diffuser Case Assembly and the High-Pressure Turbine First Stage Cooling Air Duct Assembly (TOBI), supporting airlines and operators with reliable maintenance solutions for engines in service.
Industrialisation activities for the programme are expected to be completed by 2027, with repair operations gradually increasing during 2027 and 2028 in line with the expanding global GTF engine fleet. The latest agreement further strengthens ITP Aero’s long-standing relationship with Pratt & Whitney. The company is a Risk and Revenue Sharing Partner (RRSP) in the GTF engine programme and became part of Pratt & Whitney’s global GTF maintenance network in June 2025. The Ajalvir facility is also being prepared to offer complete maintenance, repair, overhaul and engine testing services for PW1500G and PW1900G engines, with the first engine expected to enter the facility in early 2027.
The investment reflects ITP Aero’s continued focus on expanding its aftermarket business while supporting airlines with advanced repair capabilities throughout the engine lifecycle. As the number of GTF-powered aircraft in operation continues to increase, demand for specialised maintenance services is also expected to grow.
Alan Jones, Executive Vice President of MRO at ITP Aero, said the agreement represents another important step in the company’s long-term partnership with Pratt & Whitney. “This agreement expands our role in supporting Pratt & Whitney’s engine programmes throughout their operational life. By adding new repair capabilities and supporting additional engine platforms, we continue to strengthen our aftermarket services while helping customers maintain reliable fleet operations,” Mr Jones said.
The expanded repair programme also builds on ITP Aero’s established manufacturing expertise within the GTF programme. By increasing the number of engine components it can repair, the company aims to provide faster turnaround times, improved operational support and greater service capacity for customers around the world.
The agreement highlights the growing importance of global collaboration across the aerospace industry as manufacturers and maintenance providers work together to support the increasing number of next-generation aircraft entering service. With enhanced repair capabilities and dedicated MRO infrastructure, ITP Aero is positioning itself to meet long-term demand from operators of Pratt & Whitney GTF-powered aircraft while strengthening its presence in the global aerospace aftermarket.
