NEUTRAL IMPACT
Pratt & Whitney, through its affiliate International Aero Engines, has entered into an agreement with Spirit Airlines to provide monthly credits for aircraft grounded due to GTF engine issues until the end of 2024.
While the agreement demonstrates Pratt & Whitney's commitment to addressing the GTF engine issues, the financial impact on RTX is uncertain. The provision of monthly credits to Spirit Airlines could be seen as a liability, but it also reinforces RTX's customer support and could mitigate larger reputational risks.
