On Wednesday (April 6, 2022), Pratt & Whitney announced the expansion of their global GTF MRO network with the addition of Zurich-based SR Technics. The company’s Zurich facility will service PW1100G-JM engines for the Airbus A320neo Family of aircraft with full disassembly, assembly and testing capabilities. The announcement was recognized in-person at a signing ceremony in Zurich. With over 10,000 engine orders and commitments from more than 80 customers, Pratt & Whitney FTF engines now power over 1,200 aircraft with 62 global operators.


In Wednesday’s announcment, Pratt & Whitney’s Executive Director of GTF Engine Aftermarket, Marc Meredith, said,


“The GTF engine and its latest GTF Advantage™ configuration serve as the most fuel-efficient and sustainable single-aisle aircraft engines in the aviation industry. With increasing engine orders, we continue to grow our MRO presence with capable, quality maintenance providers worldwide to ensure proximity and seamless service to our customers.
