Forward Thinking: GE Aerospace’s Türkiye Technology Center Opens New Location | GE Aerospace News
Summary
GE Aerospace engineers can now be found in Istanbul’s Kartal district, at the brand-new Maya office tower. The TTC forms an important part of GE Aerospace’s significant footprint in Türkiye, which includes thousands of engines flying with major airlines; support of the country’s defense capabilities; and the major engine components manufacturer TEI, a joint venture with Turkish Aerospace Industries. “We have cultivated a team of highly skilled, diverse project teams which have the expertise and experience to push the boundaries of innovation.” Complementing the design and software engineering work being done primarily in the new Kartal location are the TTC’s labs, 20 miles down the coast in Gebze. “Türkiye is a vibrant market in a vital region for us,” said Mohamed Ali, vice president and general manager of engineering for GE Aerospace, “providing a highly skilled workforce and keeping us close to both commercial and defense customers.” The teams at TTC and GE Aerospace’s other operations in the country will have a front-row seat as the fruits of their labor take off and land at airports across Türkiye for decades to come — as well as with customers around the world. “We are proud to collaborate with colleagues here and around the world in making progress toward the industry’s goal of net zero emissions by 2050.” *RISE is a program of CFM International, a 50/50 joint company between GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines.
