Pratt & Whitney, a division of RTX (NYSE: RTX), has signed a 12-year EngineWise™ comprehensive maintenance agreement with Cebu Pacific to support the airline’s growing fleet of GTF-powered aircraft.

The long-term deal will provide maintenance services for engines powering Cebu Pacific’s record orders from 2024, including up to 152 A321neo and 15 A320neo aircraft. The agreement ties maintenance costs to engine usage, offering predictable costs and optimized fleet performance.

“This agreement reflects our strong partnership with Cebu Pacific and supports their fleet reliability and network expansion,” said Rick Deurloo, President of Commercial Engines at Pratt & Whitney.

Cebu Pacific CEO Mike Szucs highlighted that GTF engines have cut fuel burn by up to 20%, resulting in lower emissions and operating costs. “This deal ensures we continue scaling our operations sustainably while enhancing service to our passengers,” he said.

Cebu Pacific currently operates 56 Pratt & Whitney-powered aircraft. The airline’s relationship with the engine maker dates back to the 1990s, starting with the JT8D engines on its DC-9 fleet.
