Collins Aerospace, an RTX (NYSE:RTX) business, and Etihad Airways Engineering LLC (Etihad Engineering) announced a joint venture agreement at the Farnborough International Airshow to provide maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The JV will provide nacelle and thrust reverser maintenance solutions, along with asset support services, for Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 widebody fleets across regional and international carriers.

As part of the agreement, Collins will relocate existing UAE nacelle operations to Etihad Engineering's 550,000-square-meter aviation maintenance centre of excellence near Zayed International Airport, doubling Collins' current nacelle MRO footprint in the Middle East. The 3,250-square-meter facility is expected to be operational in the first quarter of 2027.
