GE Aerospace and Magellan sign F414 sustainment MOU for Canada

GE Aerospace and Magellan Aerospace signed a memorandum of understanding at the Farnborough Airshow to set up F414 engine maintenance in Canada. The work would be based at Magellan's Mississauga facility. The agreement depends on whether Canada proceeds with its purchase of the Saab Gripen E, so it is not a firm order.

• Memorandum of understanding, not a firm contract; it is conditional on Canada's Gripen E purchase.
• Covers MRO capacity in Canada for the F414-GE-39E engine.
• GE would train Magellan and license it as Canada's domestic engine sustainment centre.
• Work would be based at Magellan's Mississauga, Ontario facility.
