Engines Aftermarket Trend Spotted

I’m in the final stages of compiling the 2025 Engine Yearbook directories, and I’ve noticed that engine overhaul shops, component repair specialists, and auxiliary power unit maintenance providers are adding capabilities. 

Many of these are centered on new-generation engine programs, such as the CFM International Leap and Pratt & Whitney geared turbofan (GTF) narrowbody engines, which will be the dominant narrowbody engine types in the global fleet later this decade. Additions have been made in the widebody engine market, with some MROs adding capability for the GE Aerospace GE9x and CF34-10A engines.

Last month during MRO Europe in Barcelona Spain, TAP Maintenance & Engineering announced Leap 1A engine capabilities while Israel Aerospace Industries added Leap 1B services, further complimenting the Leap 1A services it gained certification for earlier this year. Further highlighting the lucrative nature of the engine segment, Spanish manufacturer and maintenance provider ITP Aero, which has vocalized its commercial aftermarket ambitions, added CF34-10 engine overhaul capabilities through its U.S.-based subsidiary BP Aero. 

Back to the Engine Yearbook 2025. This year we are adding sections for business aviation MRO providers and engine lessors. If you haven’t sent us your capabilities, please contact [email protected].
