Pratt & Whitney is expanding its global network of GTF engine maintenance providers to include Sanad Group, owned by Abu Dhabi's Mubadala. Sanad's new facility is expected to be completed by 2028.
The Al Ain-based facility will be the first Pratt & Whitney GTF MRO network member in the South Asia, Middle East, and North Africa region and will service PW1100G-JM and PW1500G engines for the Airbus A320neo and A220 aircraft families respectively, as well as the PW1900G engine for the Embraer E-Jet E2 aircraft family with full maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services and test capability.
"As the GTF fleet continues to grow, and aftermarket demand along with it, we are expanding our global network with industry-leading MRO providers such as Sanad," said Marc Meredith, vice president of aftermarket for GTF engines at Pratt & Whitney. "Sanad has been a service provider for the V2500 engine for more than a decade and will provide customers with the high level of service they expect."
"Establishing the GTF maintenance center in Abu Dhabi will enable Sanad to provide high-quality MRO services on the latest technology engines, with the ability to service engines worldwide," said Mansoor Janahi, managing director and chief executive officer at Sanad. "This initiative will create highly specialized jobs, diversify the economy and further strengthen Abu Dhabi and the UAE's position as a global aviation hub."
The Pratt & Whitney GTF MRO network includes 20 shops across four continents.
