The following quote is directly from DL's website.
Pratt & Whitney signed a 10-year exclusive deal with Delta TechOps in which they will provide TechOps with materials for the PW2000 engine type. Delta was the launch commercial customer for the PW2000 engine and over the years TechOps has developed significant repair capabilities on this engine.
“Delta Air Lines operates the largest PW2000-powered Boeing 757 fleet in the world,” said Jim Keenan, senior vice president and general manager, Pratt & Whitney Global Service Partners. “We are proud to be Delta’s strategic partner and exclusive source of PW2000 material.”
