RTX's Pratt & Whitney, Embraer and OGMA announce first GTF engine induction
Pratt & Whitney, an RTX business, and OGMA, an Embraer company, have announced the induction of the first Pratt & Whitney GTF™ engine at OGMA's Alverca-based facility in Portugal. This marks a significant milestone in their expanding relationship and OGMA's entry as the 18th active facility in the growing GTF MRO network. OGMA joined the network in 2020 to provide services for the PW1100G-JM engine, powering the Airbus A320neo family, and will add capability for the PW1900G engine, powering Embraer E190-E2 and E195-E2 aircraft.
The expansion demonstrates Pratt & Whitney's commitment to increasing GTF MRO capacity globally. By 2025, the company expects to have 19 active GTF MRO shops worldwide. This collaboration aligns with Embraer's accelerated growth strategy and enhances OGMA's capabilities to serve operators in Europe and around the world.

Pratt & Whitney, ein Unternehmen von RTX, und OGMA, ein Unternehmen von Embraer, haben die Einführung des ersten Pratt & Whitney GTF™-Triebwerks in der im portugiesischen Alverca gelegenen OGMA-Anlage bekannt gegeben. Dies stellt einen bedeutenden Meilenstein in ihrer sich entwickelnden Beziehung dar und OGMA tritt als 18. aktive Einrichtung im wachsenden GTF MRO-Netzwerk bei. OGMA trat 2020 dem Netzwerk bei, um Dienstleistungen für das PW1100G-JM-Triebwerk anzubieten, das die Airbus A320neo-Familie antreibt, und wird die Fähigkeit für das PW1900G-Triebwerk hinzufügen, das die Embraer E190-E2 und E195-E2 Flugzeuge antreibt.
Die Expansion zeigt das Engagement von Pratt & Whitney, die GTF MRO-Kapazitäten weltweit zu erhöhen. Bis 2025 erwartet das Unternehmen, weltweit 19 aktive GTF MRO-Werkstätten zu haben. Diese Zusammenarbeit steht im Einklang mit der beschleunigten Wachstumsstrategie von Embraer und verbessert die Fähigkeiten von OGMA, Betreiber in Europa und weltweit zu bedienen.
- Expansion of GTF MRO network to 18 active facilities, with OGMA joining as the newest member
- Addition of PW1900G engine capability at OGMA, expanding service offerings for Embraer E190-E2 and E195-E2 aircraft
- Increased global GTF MRO capacity to support growing fleet
- Alignment with Embraer's accelerated growth strategy
- None.
The induction of the first Pratt & Whitney GTF™ engine at OGMA's Alverca facility represents a strategic expansion of the GTF MRO network. This development is moderately positive for RTX and its Pratt & Whitney division, as it enhances their global service capabilities and supports the growing GTF fleet in Europe.
Key points to consider:
- OGMA becomes the 18th active facility in the GTF MRO network, with plans to reach 19 shops by 2025. This expansion aligns with the increasing demand for GTF engine maintenance as the fleet grows.
- The collaboration strengthens the relationship between Pratt & Whitney and Embraer, potentially leading to future business opportunities and synergies.
- OGMA's century-long maintenance expertise adds valuable capabilities to the network, particularly for the PW1100G-JM and PW1900G engines, which power popular narrow-body aircraft.
While this news is positive for RTX's aftermarket services, its immediate financial impact is likely to be The true value lies in the long-term potential for increased service revenue and customer satisfaction as the GTF fleet expands. Investors should view this as a strategic move to secure future revenue streams rather than an immediate catalyst for stock price movement.
From a financial perspective, the expansion of Pratt & Whitney's GTF MRO network through OGMA's facility activation is a positive development for RTX, albeit with a gradual impact on the company's financials. Here's why:
- Aftermarket services typically offer higher profit margins compared to original equipment sales. By expanding its MRO network, RTX is positioning itself to capture more of this high-margin business.
- The GTF engine program represents a long-term revenue stream. As more airlines adopt GTF-powered aircraft, the demand for maintenance services will grow, providing RTX with a steady income source over the engines' lifecycle.
- Geographical diversification of MRO capabilities can lead to cost efficiencies and improved customer service, potentially enhancing RTX's competitiveness in the engine aftermarket segment.
However, investors should note that the financial benefits will likely materialize gradually. The impact on RTX's stock in the short term may be , as the market tends to focus on more immediate catalysts such as quarterly earnings or large contract wins. Long-term investors should view this as a strategic move that reinforces RTX's position in the lucrative aircraft engine aftermarket.
"This marks a significant milestone in our expanding relationship with OGMA and Embraer, furthering our commitment to providing global industry-leading service and support to increase GTF MRO capacity," said Marc Meredith, vice president of aftermarket for GTF engines at Pratt & Whitney. "OGMA brings more than a century of maintenance expertise to the network and will provide critical support for the growing GTF fleet in
The Embraer company joined the GTF MRO network in 2020 to provide disassembly, assembly and test capability for the PW1100G-JM engine, which powers the Airbus A320neo aircraft family. In 2021, OGMA announced that it will add capability for the PW1900G engine, which powers the Embraer E190-E2 and E195-E2 aircraft.
"We're proud to extend our collaboration with Pratt & Whitney on today's most advanced technologies," said Paulo Monginho, chief executive officer at OGMA. "By adding the GTF engine to our portfolio, we are growing our capabilities to serve the needs of operators in
"Embraer and OGMA are very pleased to deepen its relationship with Pratt & Whitney. With this collaboration, we are on the right track to expand our services portfolio for the GTF fleet as part of Embraer's accelerated growth strategy", says Carlos Naufel, President and CEO, Embraer Services & Support.
Pratt & Whitney announced three GTF MRO facility expansions and six shop activations in 2023 to support the growing GTF fleet. OGMA marks the 18th active location and the eighth facility in
