GE Aerospace GE remains committed to enhancing its growth pipeline through investments in lucrative projects. The company has been on track to invest more than $1 billion in its Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facilities around the world over the next few years. This includes the acquisition of a dedicated LEAP test cell, which will unlock a major constraint in its shop visit output.
In 2025, GE Aerospace announced its plan to invest $1 billion in U.S. manufacturing and technology to boost production capabilities and meet the growing demand for its engines and services. In 2026, the company plans to invest an additional $1 billion in U.S. manufacturing and technology. These investments will allow the company to boost its operational capacities, introduce new technologies to further reduce turnaround time and costs and provide better customer services.
Also, the company plans to invest up to $300 million over five years (2025-2029) to boost engine repair capabilities in Singapore. A strong pipeline of MRO contracts from major customers like Airbus, El Al Israeli Airlines, Royal Jordanian, flydubai and China Airlines sets it apart from its peers.
GE’s continued investment activities, driven by a strong pipeline of projects, are expected to drive its long-term growth. In 2026, the company expects more than 15% growth in LEAP engine deliveries. For 2026, it expects adjusted revenues to increase in the low-double-digit range, including mid-teens growth in the commercial engines and services unit and mid-to-high single-digit growth in the defense and propulsion technologies unit.
