MAGELLAN AEROSPACE SIGNS AMENDMENT TO GE AEROSPACE REVENUE SHARING AGREEMENT
Toronto, Ontario – 28 April 2025 – Magellan Aerospace Corporation (“Magellan”) announced today that it has signed an amendment to a long-term Revenue Sharing Agreement (RSA) with GE Aerospace to include the production of major components for the F414-GE-400K aircraft engine for the Korean KF-21 aircraft program.
In mid-2024 Hanwha Aerospace and Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) signed contracts with South Korea’s national arms procurement agency to produce the first batch of indigenous KAI KF-21 4.5-generation fighter aircraft. A subsequent Defense Acquisition Program Administration contract with Hanwha Aerospace covered the delivery of 44 F414-GE-400K engines for the KF-21 aircraft program from 2025-2026.
Under the amended RSA, Magellan’s facilities in Mississauga, ON and Winnipeg, MB, with expertise in manufacturing complex aeroengine assemblies, will deliver F414 engine frames to GE Aerospace in Lynn, Massachusetts over a 7-year period as the sole source provider for the KF-21 aircraft, the US Navy spares, and the Gripen F414-39E engine programs. The agreement is the latest milestone in a strong, mutually beneficial relationship between the companies that dates back more than six decades.
“We are delighted to be continuing this relationship with GE Aerospace that has weathered many industry highs and lows over the past 60 years”, said Haydn Martin, Magellan’s Vice President, Business Development, Marketing and Contracts. “Our shared commitment to this long-term collaboration has fostered a strong foundation, enabling both companies to consistently achieve excellence and sustained performance.”
