Boeing has announced an exclusive new 10-year distribution agreement with Ontic.

Boeing will add to its offerings the TRAS (thrust reverser actuation system) and PECU (propeller electronic control unit) product lines – approximately 1,000 actuation and propulsion system products across multiple aircraft platforms.

Travis Sullivan, vice president and general manager at Boeing Distribution, said: “We are thrilled to announce this significant milestone in our partnership with Ontic.

“This collaboration not only expands our product offerings, but also reinforces our commitment to delivering world-class support to our engine operators.”

The TRAS product line supports GE CF6-50/80 –A300/310/330, B747/767, DC10, KC10, MD11, VC-25A, C-5M, C-2; GE CF-34 – CL600/CRJ Series; Rolls Royce RB 211 – 747-400; and Rolls Royce Trent 900 and GE GP700 – A380.

The PECU is a critical LRU for the Dowty R408 series propeller system, for the De Haviland Canada DHC-8/Q400.

Boeing’s distribution portfolio for Ontic also includes fuel controls, actuation, MWD (memory wheel device), lighting, interior electronics and wipers product lines, and business and general aviation displays for a range of civil and military aircraft platforms.

Brian Sartain, Ontic’s chief operating officer, said: “As we continue to grow our product-line portfolio, we need a partner that can grow with us.

“Boeing’s breadth and depth of network ensures our customers will get the right part at the right time.

“Delivering parts to our airline customers on time and ensuring the highest level of quality is our highest priority.

“Boeing is a trusted partner in the aftermarket with customer relationships that span the globe.”
