LHT Joins P&W GTF Network

Lufthansa Technik will become a member of the Pratt & Whitney Geared Turbofan MRO network under a new agreement it signed with the engine company Tuesday covering PW1100Gs and PW1500Gs.

The network now includes Pratt & Whitney and its GTF collaborators, MTU Aero Engines and Japanese Engines Corporation.

“The PW1100G family will be one of the main engine types in commercial aviation for the next decades,” said Lufthansa Technik board chairman Johannes Bussmann. “Lufthansa Technik will serve the full scope of MRO services and will bring long-lasting and leading expertise in engine overhaul, engine parts repair and engineering support to this cooperation.”
