Pratt & Whitney, an RTX (NYSE:\u00a0RTX<\/a>) business, has announced the opening of a new $78 million facility in the Dallas suburb of Irving for its Commercial Serviceable Assets business\u2014which buys, sells, and manages used serviceable material (USM) and airline engines.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The facility is one of three new maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) sites that Pratt & Whitney is investing over $100 million into across the U.S. The other investments include $20 million in the company\u2019s expanded West Palm Beach Engine Center in Florida and $4.7 million in the company\u2019s expanded Propulsion Systems Division in Springdale, Arkansas.<\/p>\n

As part of Pratt & Whitney\u2019s ongoing efforts to ramp maintenance capacity for its GTF aircraft engine, Pratt & Whitney said it\u2019s expanding the facilities and adding new equipment \u201cto enhance speed and efficiency throughout the MRO process.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s GTF (geared turbofan) engine is a highly efficient aircraft engine designed for narrow-body jets, RTX said, offering up to 20% better fuel savings and lower emissions per trip. The engine uses a unique reduction gear system with the fan spinning slower than the turbine\u2014reducing noise by 75% as it powers Airbus A320neo, A220, and Embraer E2 jets.<\/p>\n

The new facility in Irving spans half a million square feet, Pratt & Whitney said, adding, \u201cAt a time when material constraints are one of the main drivers of delays in the MRO process, the investment will increase USM stock by more than 60%, helping to reduce engine turnaround time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company said the Irving facility also enables the expansion of part repair development capability and \u201cMRO quick-turn capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to these new investments, Pratt & Whitney said it opened an 81,000-square-foot GTF MRO expansion at its Columbus Engine Center in Columbus, Georgia, earlier this year. The company invested $70 million in Columbus to expand the site and add advanced equipment and machinery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In all, Pratt & Whitney\u2019s GTF MRO network consists of 21 global engine centers and around 40 component repair facilities. To date, more than 2,700 GTF-powered aircraft have been delivered to over 90 customers worldwide, with 13,000 engine orders and commitments in total across all platforms, the company said.<\/p>\n
