To support strong aftermarket and engine demand, GE Aerospace is investing in manufacturing and overhaul facilities, expanding its external MRO network (adding Iberia as the seventh Premier MRO) and expanding Delta TechOps capabilities for LEAP variants. The company reports increased internal shop visit output (30% growth in H1 2026) and material availability improvements that supported 37% higher total engine deliveries and 41% higher LEAP deliveries year-to-date. GE is advancing future-of-flight R&D and partnerships, including establishing an airport test bed for RISE technologies with the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore and Airbus and completing ground tests for NASA's megawatt-class hybrid electric demonstrator. These initiatives are intended to expand capacity, improve yield and accelerate product and technology development.
