GE Aerospace signed a five-year Performance Based Logistics (PBL) contract with the Indian Air Force (IAF) for the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) of the T700-GE-701D engines powering the IAF’s fleet of AH-64E-I Apache helicopters.
Under this contract, GE Aerospace will also be responsible for flight line parts to ensure engine availability to the IAF.
The PBL solution is designed to streamline engine sustainment operations, improve turnaround times, and enhance the availability and operational readiness of the Apache fleet.
“We are honored to continue our partnership with the IAF through this PBL contract, which underscores our commitment to deliver reliable and innovative sustainment solutions for critical defense platforms,” said Youngje Kim, vice president and general manager, Asia Pacific, Defense and Systems for GE Aerospace.
“This agreement demonstrates GE Aerospace’s focus on supporting the Indian Air Force’s operational needs and mission readiness by ensuring the T700 engines are maintained at the highest level of performance,” he added.
