Pratt & Whitney Canada is all set to open a second maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility for the PW800 engine in Germany with long-time collaborator MTU Aero Engines. The new facility will be operational by 2024.
Irene Makris, vice president, of Customer Service at Pratt & Whitney Canada, said: “This is another way we are striving to meet the MRO needs of our customers around the globe. We are delighted to be collaborating with MTU on this new MRO facility. We have been working with MTU for more than three decades and have collaborated on many projects, including on the development of the low-pressure turbine and high-pressure compressor for the PW800 engine.”
Ottmar Pfänder, SVP of Commercial Programs, MTU Aero Engines, said: “We always welcome the opportunity to expand our working relationship with Pratt & Whitney in our ongoing efforts to serve our common customer base. We have worked with Pratt & Whitney Canada on the PW300 engine family since 1985 and we also became involved in the PW800 at the development stage of the program.”
This new MRO facility will be located in Berlin-Brandenberg to enable PW800 MRO by 2024.
