Magnetic MRO Broadens Pratt & Whitney Engine Approval Scope for A320neo Operators

Magnetic MRO has extended its Pratt & Whitney maintenance approval, widening its certified scope to cover a broader range of PW1000G-series engines powering Airbus A320neo-family aircraft. 

The extension enables Magnetic MRO to support a broader range of A320neo operators across Europe, particularly airlines operating mixed-engine fleets.

The expanded approval allows operators to consolidate a wider range of maintenance requirements with a single provider, supporting more efficient planning and reduced coordination effort.

Pratt & Whitney PW1000G-series engines are among the most widely operated powerplants on the A320neo family across Europe,  making broad maintenance support capabilities increasingly important for operators seeking flexibility and efficient fleet planning.

“This enhanced capability allows us to support a substantial and growing segment of the regional fleet,” says Marko Männiste, Managing Director of Magnetic MRO. 

“For customers, this means access to a broader range of maintenance services from a single provider, helping simplify fleet support and reduce operational complexity.”

From a quality standpoint, the extension required no significant changes to existing processes – a point that reflects well on the maturity of the system already in place. 

“The approval extension showed that our existing system was already strong enough to support the increased scope,” says Martti Ärmpalu, Head of Group Quality at Magnetic Group. “The authority audit confirmed that both our processes and our people were well prepared.”

The same quality controls, standards, and oversight that govern Magnetic MRO’s existing approvals will apply across the wider scope. The extension adds breadth without disrupting the operational consistency the team has built.
