ITP Aero UK Readies Delivery of First GTF Combustor
Full-scale production will start in 2025
ITP Aero Hucknall plant
ITP Aero will manufacture Pratt & Whitney GTF engine family combustors at its Hucknall site, East Midlands, UK.

ITP Aero is making good progress on the full-scale production of combustors for Pratt & Whitney’s GTF engine family in the UK. ITP expects to deliver the first combustor in the coming months at the Hucknall site in the East Midlands. It plans to start full-scale production next year.

The delivery of the first combustor in the coming months represents a “significant achievement” for ITP Aero, the former Rolls-Royce subsidiary remarked. In 2023, ITP Aero solidified its partnership with Pratt & Whitney by signing an agreement to manufacture combustors for the GTF engine family. Since then, ITP Aero secured approvals to collaborate with the engine maker on ways to meet growing demand.
