Delta TechOps opens new repair shop for Pratt & Whitney GTF engines
Delta TechOps continues to enhance its maintenance capabilities with the opening of a new engine repair shop.
The facility will be dedicated to performing maintenance on Pratt & Whitney GTF engines including the PW1100G and PW1500G, which power Delta’s new fleet of advanced Airbus A321neo and A220 airliners, respectively. The shop will service GTF engines that belong to Delta aircraft alongside customer engines maintained through Delta TechOps Maintenance Repair and Overhaul business.

The new shop spans an impressive 155,000 square feet with room for expansion and includes approximately 60 engine bays with the option to add more in the future. Key areas of the shop include a hospital or quick turn area, engine disassembly and assembly, module disassembly and assembly, work in progress (WIP), cleaning, shipping and receiving, and an administrative area.
The new GTF engine shop is the latest in a series of investments by Delta to bolster the infrastructure and resources available to the TechOps team. These investments not only support Delta’s commitment to safety and service reliability but also its goal of expanding the revenue stream generated by the MRO business.
“We are incredibly proud of our new engine shop and what it means for the future of Delta, our partnership with Pratt & Whitney, and our relationships with our other MRO customers,” said Don Mitacek, Senior Vice President of Delta TechOps and President of Delta TechOps Services Group.
Through expanded capabilities and new facilities, Delta’s MRO is projected to grow significantly in the coming years.
