International Turbine Engine Company

The International Turbine Engine Company LLC (ITEC, formerly the International Turbine Engine Corporation)[1] is a joint venture between Honeywell Aerospace (formerly Garrett AiResearch, and later AlliedSignal), and the Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC). The company produces the F124/F125 turbofan engine series, which is used in the Aermacchi M-346, Aero L-159 Alca, AIDC F-CK-1 Ching-kuo, and AIDC T-5 Brave Eagle. In 2017 the F124 And F125 Engines reached 1,000,000 operating hours.[2]

In 2019 the Indian Air Force cancelled a contract with Honeywell to upgrade India’s SEPECAT Jaguar aircraft with a special variant F125IN engine made by International Turbine Engine Company citing Honeywell’s “exorbitant” pricing on the entire upgrade package.[3]
