United Technologies announced Tuesday — the second day of the International Paris Air Show — a series of engine and maintenance deals with customers.
The bulk of the announcements early Tuesday involved UTC’s engine subsidiary Pratt & Whitney.
UTC didn’t disclose financial terms for many of the deals, but said Pratt signed a long-term agreement worth more than $4 million with Australian manufacturer Levett Engineering, which will provide transfer tubes, bearing housing and supports for F135 engines.
In addition, Pratt announced the following deals:
- A memorandum of understanding with Turkish Airlines to provide PurePower engines that would power as many as 92 Airbus A321neo planes, with deliveries scheduled to begin in 2017.
- Hungarian airline Wizz Air has selected the V2500 engine — manufactured by international consortium IAE International Aero Engines AG , which includes Pratt and several other companies — to power 17 A321neo planes. The order comes on top of a previous order for 179 engines.
- Pratt and its IAE consortium partners — Japanese Aero Engines and MTU Aero Engines — signed an agreement formalizing their maintenance, repair and overhaul network. Work will take place in New Zealand, Germany and Japan.
- Air New Zealand extended by five years its maintenance-services agreement with Pratt for its fleet of 58 V2500 engines.
- Scandinavian Airlines signed a five-year repair agreement with the IAW consortium to manage 50 V2500 engines.
