en.Wedoany.com Reported - Spanish aircraft engine manufacturer ITP Aero has signed a 10-year agreement with Pratt & Whitney, expanding its repair capabilities for Pratt & Whitney PW1500G and PW1900G engine components.

The agreement covers full repair capabilities for the inner diffuser case assembly within GTF model engines, which connects the engine's high-pressure compressor and combustion chamber. Additionally, ITP Aero will also have the capability to repair high-pressure turbine 1st-stage cooling air duct assemblies, which route compressor bleed air to nozzle guide vanes and turbine blades. Industrialization activities are expected to be completed by 2027, with production capacity gradually ramping up between 2027 and 2028 based on fleet demand at its facility in Ajalvir, Madrid.

The company is a risk and revenue sharing partner in the GTF program and joined the engine's aftermarket network in summer 2025, covering PW1500G and PW1900G engines that power the Airbus A220 and Embraer E2.

Last year, ITP Aero set a target to increase aftermarket business to 20% to 25% of total annual revenue by 2030. It is currently strengthening its aftermarket presence, including building new facilities and test cells in Ajalvir, and enhancing in-house repair capabilities to undertake GTF-related work, while also handling engine overhauls and component back-shop repairs.

The latest announcement expands the components added to its repair capabilities. Previously, in April, the company signed an agreement with Pratt & Whitney to provide component repair services for the stator assembly-turbine intermediate case vane pack of the PW1500G and PW1900G. ITP Aero delivered the first combustion chamber for both engine programs in January 2026.

Alan Jones, Executive Vice President of MRO at ITP Aero, stated that this long-term agreement further expands the company's role in supporting Pratt & Whitney engine programs throughout their lifecycle, strengthening contributions to the aftermarket and in-service fleet performance by adding broader component repair capabilities and extending support to more engine platforms.

The first GTF shop visit is expected to take place in the Spanish capital in March or April next year.

Repair development work at other affiliated locations is also progressing. BP Aero (a Dallas MRO facility acquired by ITP Aero in 2024) plans to add a second facility by the end of 2026 to increase capacity for third-party repair needs, with engine component MRO work actively expanding. Meanwhile, Aero Norway (a CFM International CFM56 and Leap MRO specialist acquired by ITP Aero in late 2025) has further expanded its footprint in CFM-manufactured engine programs.
