GE Aerospace (GE) has signed a limited distribution agreement with United Aero Group (UAG), authorising the global helicopter support company as a distributor for CT7/T700 engine parts and spares. The collaboration expands GE Aerospace’s service capabilities by providing CT7/T700 operators with additional access to parts and maintenance solutions.

UAG will now distribute GE Aerospace parts and materials, extending to areas not currently served by existing agreements. The partnership reinforces the operational readiness of customers worldwide, and GE continues to invest in customer support solutions that prioritise availability and readiness.

“By expanding our distribution network, we are ensuring that operators of CT7 and T700 engines receive the high quality, OEM-backed parts they need to maintain the highest level of safety and peak performance,” says Elissa Lee, executive director for commercial turboshaft engines at GE.

“Our continued partnership with GE Aerospace strengthens UAG’s role in supporting the global CT7/T700 operator base by providing direct access to OEM-authorised parts and components,” adds Jamie Gelder, CEO of UAG. “This collaboration reinforces UAG’s commitment to customer requirements, enabling the company to serve operators with a shared focus on quality and operational readiness.”

With more than 25,000 engines delivered, GE’s CT7/T700 engine family has accumulated over 130 million flight hours and powers more than 15 types of military and civilian helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft globally.
