ITP Aero and Air Nostrum Engineering & Maintenance (ANEM) have signed a three-year contract for the MRO of General Electric CT7-9C3 engines, which power the CN235 aircraft fleet operated by SASEMAR (Sea Rescue Service).
ITP Aero says the contract aligns with its strategic focus on expanding its presence in the MRO market and enhancing its aftermarket capabilities for key engine platforms currently in operation.
The maintenance work will be performed at ITP Aero’s facility in Albacete, Spain.
Alan Jones, executive director of MRO at ITP Aero, said: “This is another milestone that allows us to continue with the execution of ITP Aero’s strategic MRO growth roadmap, driving the expansion of our commercial aftermarket services and the operational excellence of our maintenance and repair capabilities.”
The CT7-9C3 engines provide a baseline power increase of approximately 5% and improved performance for hot and high-altitude takeoffs compared to the current CT7-9 models. The engine’s performance improvements are due to an advanced centrifugal compressor, which completed certification testing last year.
The announcement was made during Aviation Week’s MRO Europe 2024 event in Barcelona.
