Triumph Product Support Announces LTA Extension with Pratt & Whitney

Triumph Group, Inc. (NYSE:TGI) announced today that its Grand Prairie, TX based Product Support business has extended a long-term agreement with Pratt & Whitney for engine Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) repairs. Under the agreement, Triumph Product Support’s Accessory Services business based out of Grand Prairie, Texas will service LRUs for the V2500, PW2000 and PW4000 engine models through 2019. The work will originate from global Pratt & Whitney engine shops.

The contract extension expands the level of support Triumph Product Support provides for the engine manufacturer. In recent years Triumph has provided approximately 2,000 LRUs per year to Pratt & Whitney, a 220 percent increase, since their initial maintenance service contract was signed in 2002. Furthermore, the new contract will allow Triumph to expand the number of Air Transport Association (ATA) Chapter service and repair offerings in support of select Pratt & Whitney engines.
