What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

FTAI Aviation has entered into a multi-year Maintenance, Repair and Exchange agreement with United Airlines. Under the program, FTAI Aviation provides serviceable engines ahead of United Airlines' scheduled removals, replacing the need for traditional shop visits. United Airlines purchases the unserviceable engines in exchange, which FTAI Aviation adds to its inventory for its MRO network.

The agreement allows United Airlines to maintain aircraft flight schedules while avoiding the costs and downtime associated with traditional engine shop visits. This arrangement supports the broader aviation industry trend of optimizing engine supply chains, especially as the FAA reviews production lines for the 737 Max due to engine supply bottlenecks.

FTAI Aviation has been servicing engines for Boeing, which is currently facing scrutiny from the FAA regarding engine supply for larger aircraft models.
