Spanish aerospace company ITP Aero has signed a 10-year agreement with Pratt & Whitney to provide advanced repair services for key components of PW1500G and PW1900G geared turbofan (GTF) engines, further strengthening its position within the engine manufacturer’s global aftermarket network.
The agreement, announced at the Farnborough International Airshow, covers the repair of the Inner Diffuser Case Assembly and the High-Pressure Turbine (HPT) 1st Stage Cooling Air Duct Assembly (TOBI). The work will be carried out at ITP Aero’s Ajalvir facility near Madrid, supporting the growing global fleet of GTF-powered aircraft.
Industrialisation activities for the programme are expected to be completed in 2027, with repair operations gradually ramping up through 2027 and 2028 to meet increasing aftermarket demand.

ITP Aero, a long-standing risk and revenue-sharing partner in the Pratt & Whitney GTF programme, joined the company’s global GTF MRO network in June 2025. The Ajalvir facility is also preparing to offer full maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services and engine testing for PW1500G and PW1900G engines, with the first engine induction planned for early 2027.
Alan Jones, Executive Vice President of MRO at ITP Aero, said the long-term agreement expands the company’s role in supporting Pratt & Whitney engine programmes throughout their lifecycle. He noted that the addition of new component repair capabilities across multiple engine platforms further strengthens ITP Aero’s contribution to the global aftermarket while supporting the performance and reliability of the in-service GTF fleet.
The latest agreement highlights the continued expansion of Pratt & Whitney’s global GTF MRO network as demand for advanced engine repair capabilities grows alongside the rapidly increasing fleet of GTF-powered aircraft.
