SR Technics and RTX’s Pratt & Whitney announce first GTF engine induction
Swiss shop becomes the 17th active facility in growing GTF MRO network
Pratt & Whitney, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, and SR Technics Switzerland AG (“SR Technics”) announced today the induction of the first Pratt & Whitney GTF™ engine at the MRO service provider’s Zurich-based facility. SR Technics will provide full disassembly, assembly and test capability for the PW1100G-JM engine for the Airbus A320neo aircraft 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. “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 is committed to expanding GTF MRO capacity with industry-leading providers such as SR Technics to support the 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, which joined the Pratt & Whitney GTF MRO network in 2022, marks the 17th active location and the seventh facility in Europe.
“Our team just completed the Pratt & Whitney’s heavy maintenance training program and has granted and has received the Federal Office of Civil Aviation’s EASA authority approval for GTF engine maintenance,” said Owen McClave, chief executive officer at SR Technics.” The disassembly of the first GTF engine at SR Technics shop has begun. We are delighted to become a contributor to the GTF network. We are an engines-focused business, and this is an important milestone for our company. The overhaul of geared turbofan engines strengthens our expertise in the world’s most innovative technologies, so our current and future customers can continue to rely completely on our top-level service. With this, SR Technics is on a secure path of capabilities’ growth and further developing our skill set.”
