A heat exchanger for a gas turbine engine includes a fuel-oil heat exchanger for indirect transfer of thermal energy between fuel and oil. A feed area of the fuel-oil heat exchanger for the fuel, is delimited by a front plate through which fuel can flow and an opposite casing area. A discharge area of the fuel-oil heat exchanger is arranged on a side facing away from the feed area. Fuel is led through a bypass line extending parallel to the fuel-oil heat exchanger and having a bypass valve for controlling fuel volume flow. A part of the oil flow led through the fuel-oil heat exchanger is conducted through the casing area upstream of the fuel-oil heat exchanger, to be able to transfer thermal energy indirectly between the oil volume which flows through the casing area and the fuel in the feed area.
