Honeywell and ITP Aero have joined forces to establish the first European-authorized service center for Honeywell’s F124-GA-200 engine.
Located at ITP Aero’s Ajalvir facility in Madrid, this new center will be a licensed Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facility managed by the International Turbine Engine Company (ITEC), a joint venture between Honeywell and AIDC. The agreement supports Honeywell’s alignment with the megatrend of the future of aviation, providing advanced technological support to increase efficiencies and improve sustainable operations.
Expected to be operational by the end of 2024, the center will offer local repair capabilities for over 150 F124-GA-200 engines in the European region. This translates to significantly faster turnaround times for European airlines, as engines will no longer require transport across continents for servicing. This new center joins Honeywell’s existing network of regional service centers for the F124-GA-200 engine in North America and the Asia Pacific region.
