GMR Aero Technic and Honeywell sign LEAP engine MRO deal in India

GMR Aero Technic, India's leading airframe Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) organisation, has signed a license agreement with Honeywell Aerospace to provide maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services for line replaceable units (LRUs) of LEAP engines. The agreement covers seven Honeywell LRUs installed on LEAP engines that power Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, and includes full disassembly, inspection, repair, reassembly and functional testing of critical engine control systems.

Ashok Gopinath, President & Accountable Manager of GMR Aero Technic, said the partnership will strengthen the company's component MRO portfolio and deliver high‑quality, efficient and reliable repair solutions for LEAP engine operators in India and the region. Honeywell's Cooper Cullen emphasized India's fast‑growing aviation market and the importance of regional support for airline customers. The collaboration is expected to reduce turnaround times, lower costs, and support India's "Make in India" initiative by building indigenous repair capabilities and reducing reliance on overseas MRO services.
