Engine Alliance Adds Overhaul Centers in Dubai and Singapore

Engine Alliance (Hall 4 Stand H71) is expanding support for its GP7200 turbofans with the addition of new engine overhaul centers in Dubai and Singapore. Emirates Engine Maintenance Centre in Dubai will primarily support the 90 GP7200—powered Airbus A380 aircraft operated by Emirates Airline. Pratt & Whitney Eagle Services Asia in Singapore is a “center of excellence” for GP7200 low pressure compressor overhauls and its capability is now being expanded to cover the full engine.

The U.S. engine maker, which is a joint venture between Pratt & Whitney and GE Aviation, is marking its 20th anniversary this year. “Engine Alliance continues to invest in the A380 by adding important overhaul capacity to the world-class shops already in place at GE Wales and Air France industries,” said Engine Alliance president Dean Athans.

“We’re thrilled our partnership with Engine Alliance now includes full overhaul capability in Dubai,” said Iain Lachlan, divisional senior v-p Emirates engineering. “The ability to perform maintenance work locally will translate to cost savings, allowing us to keep our A380 fleet running at the highest level of efficiency.”
