Embraer’s OGMA MRO subsidiary is preparing to bring maintenance and overhaul capabilities for the Pratt & Whitney GTF-series engine in-house this year. The Portugal-based company—in operation for more than a century—is headquartered at Alverca Airport (LPAR). Alverca has a nearly 10,000-foot runway, which is ideal for OGMA’s civil aviation and defense support businesses.

Despite its relationship with the Brazilian airframer, OGMA is agnostic when it comes to the platforms it services. In 2020, the facility—located less than 10 miles north of Lisbon— was announced as a Pratt & Whitney Authorized Maintenance Center for the support of the PW1100G-JM engine. According to Carlos Naufel, Embraer’s president and CEO of services and support, it is currently completing the test cells and facilities required for this engine, which powers the Airbus A320neo.
