The European Commission terminated an antitrust probe into a unit of RTX Corp on Friday after the company amended contractual terms that had previously restricted spare parts suppliers from accessing critical inputs and services.
The investigation, focused on Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp, concluded that the revised clauses removed potential barriers for suppliers, eliminating the competition concerns that prompted the inquiry. The Commission did not impose fines or further penalties, signaling the resolution of the matter through compliance rather than punitive action.
A spokesperson for the European Commission stated that the closure followed RTX’s adjustments to its supplier agreements, which now ensure unobstructed access to necessary resources for spare parts providers. The decision was announced on August 21, 2026, according to Investing.com.
Pratt & Whitney Canada, a subsidiary of RTX, manufactures aircraft engines and related components, a sector frequently scrutinized for supply chain and competitive practices. The unit’s contractual revisions addressed longstanding concerns over supplier access, a key factor in the Commission’s decision to close the case without further action.
