Pratt & Whitney, a division of RTX, has officially opened a new engine maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility in Casablanca, Morocco. The facility, operated by Pratt & Whitney's customer service arm, is designed to support the growing global fleet of Pratt & Whitney GTF (Geared Turbofan) engines.
The new Casablanca Engine Center represents a significant investment in Morocco's aerospace sector. It is expected to create hundreds of skilled jobs and enhance the country's industrial capabilities. The facility will perform maintenance on the PW1100G-JM engine, which powers the Airbus A320neo family of aircraft.
This expansion is part of Pratt & Whitney's strategy to increase its global MRO capacity to meet rising demand and improve turnaround times for engine servicing. The move also strengthens Morocco's position as an emerging aerospace hub in Africa, building on existing manufacturing and maintenance operations from other international companies.
