Embraer's OGMA Industria Aeronautica de Portugal has inducted its first Pratt & Whitney GTF engine at the inaugural opening of its Alverca-based facility.
""This marks a significant milestone in our expanding relationship with OGMA and Embraer, furthering our commitment to providing global industry-leading service and support to increase GTF MRO capacity,"" said Marc Meredith, vice president of aftermarket for GTF engines at Pratt & Whitney.
The Embraer company joined the GTF MRO network in 2020 to provide disassembly, assembly and test capability for the PW1100G-JM engine, which powers the A320neo family aircraft. In 2021, OGMA added capability for the PW1900G engine, which powers the Embraer E190-E2 and E195-E2 aircraft.
