A turbine exhaust case (TEC) for a gas turbine engine, has: an inner case extending circumferentially about a central axis; an outer case disposed radially outward from the inner case and extending circumferentially about the central axis; struts extending between the inner case and the outer case, a strut of the struts having an airfoil extending from an inner end to an outer end along a span and from a leading edge to a trailing edge along a chord, the airfoil being cambered and having a pressure side being concave and a suction side being convex, and a slot defined through the airfoil downstream of the leading edge, the slot extending from a slot inlet on the suction side to a slot outlet on the pressure side, the slot defining a fluid flow passage for directing fluid flow from the suction side to the pressure side through the airfoil.
