FARNBOROUGH, England—ITP Aero has expanded its engine parts repair capabilities for both the Pratt & Whitney PW1500G and PW1900G after signing a 10-year agreement with the engine OEM.
The Bilbao, Spain-headquartered company said July 20 that the agreement covers full repair capability and scope for the GTF models' inner diffuser case assembly, which bridges the engine’s high-pressure compressor and the combustor. It will also have the capability to repair both engines’ high-pressure turbine 1st-stage cooling air duct assemblies, which route compressor bleed air to the nozzle guide vanes and turbine blades.
Industrialization activities are expected to end in 2027, with ramp-up through 2027 and 2028 in line with fleet demand at its facility in Ajalvir, Madrid, ITP Aero said.
ITP Aero, a risk-revenue-sharing partner in the GTF program, joined the engine's aftermarket network in summer 2025, covering the PW1500G and PW1900 variants, which power the Airbus A220 and Embraer E2 respectively.
With a target set out last year to increase aftermarket business to 20–25% of total annual revenues by 2030, the company is ramping up its aftermarket presence. It currently building a new facility and test cell, along with more in-house repair capability in Ajalvir, to accommodate GTF-related work and undertake full overhauls of the engines, as well as back-shop repairs on components.
The latest announcement is an extension of the addition of new parts to its repair capabilities. In April, the company signed terms with Pratt & Whitney to provide component repair services for the PW1500G and PW1900G's stator assembly-turbine intermediate case vane pack. ITP Aero delivered its first combustor for both engine programs in January 2026.
"This long-term agreement further expands ITP Aero's role in supporting Pratt & Whitney engine programs across the lifecycle," said Alan Jones, executive vice president of MRO at ITP Aero. "By adding a wider range of component repair capabilities and extending our support to additional engine platforms, we continue to strengthen our contribution to the aftermarket and to the performance of the in-service fleet."
ITP Aero expects the first GTF shop visit to take place in the Spanish capital in either March or April next year.
Developing repairs at other ITP Aero-affiliated locations is also ongoing. BP Aero, the Dallas-based MRO facility acquired by ITP Aero in 2024, plans to add a second facility by the end of 2026 to ramp up capacity to meet third-party repair demand, with engine parts MRO work being actively expanded.
Meanwhile, Aero Norway, the CFM International CFM56 and Leap MRO specialist acquired by ITP Aero in late 2025, has also furthered its footprint on the CFM-manufactured engine programs.
