This latest Pratt & Whitney expansion, covering 48,000 square feet, will allow ESA to accommodate a two-thirds increase in its current facility capacity.
Pratt & Whitney, a business under Raytheon Technologies, is set to expand the capacity of its Singapore-based engine center, Eagle Services Asia (ESA). This expansion, covering 48,000 square feet, will allow ESA to accommodate a two-thirds increase in its current facility capacity. Pratt & Whitney’s move to expand ESA reflects its commitment to supporting the global Geared Turbofan (GTF) fleet. The expansion project includes plans to increase staffing levels and provide extensive training to ensure that ESA is well-prepared to meet the growing demand for GTF engine maintenance.
Eagle Services Asia began its journey in 2019 when it inducted its first PW1100G-JM engine for overhaul. ESA is a joint venture between SIA Engineering Company and Pratt & Whitney and is a member of the Pratt & Whitney GTF MRO network. This network comprises some of the industry’s leading MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) companies.
“Pratt & Whitney is investing globally to support the GTF fleet. As part of the expansion, we will increase staffing and provide extensive staff training so that we are well equipped to meet the increased demand,” said Shangari Meleschi, vice president, Aftermarket Operations – Asia Pacific and Turkiye, Pratt & Whitney. “We are dedicated to maintaining our customers’ trust as we work through the impacts of the GTF fleet management plan,” he further added.
The GTF MRO network has experienced significant growth since 2019, more than doubling in size. Presently, there are 13 active GTF MRO engine centers worldwide, with an additional six expected to be operational by 2025. These centers are a crucial component of Pratt & Whitney’s EngineWise® solutions, which provide engine operators with a range of aftermarket services designed to deliver long-term, sustainable value.

Pratt & Whitney’s expansion of Eagle Services Asia underscores the company’s commitment to supporting its customers and the broader aviation industry. By increasing ESA’s capacity and capabilities, Pratt & Whitney aims to provide enhanced maintenance services for its GTF engines, contributing to the reliability and longevity of these engines in service.
