GE Aerospace has been awarded a three-year contract from Boeing Defence UK Ltd to extend support for the T700-GE-T701D engines powering the British Army’s Apache AH-64E fleet.
Under the Performance Based Logistics (PBL) agreement, GE Aerospace will provide an on-site Field Service Representative (FSR) at Wattisham Flying Station in Suffolk, UK, and deliver logistics management, technical support, and material, as well as repair and maintenance of engines and line-replaceable units (LRUs) through StandardAero in Gosport, UK.
“We are proud to continue our longstanding relationship with Boeing Defence and support the British Army,” said Paul Ferraro, vice president and general manager, Defense Engines & Services, GE Aerospace. “This agreement strengthens regional support and services for the UK Apache fleet, helping ensure readiness and availability.”
With more than 25,000 engines produced and over 100 million flight hours accumulated over four decades, the T700 family powers platforms across 50 countries, serving more than 130 customers for transport, medical evacuation, air rescue, special operations, and maritime patrol missions.
