Pratt & Whitney's PurePower Geared Turbofan engine will power Bombardier's largest C Series aircraft order based on an agreement signed by Delta Air Lines for 125 aircraft. The order consists of 75 firm aircraft with options for up to 50 more as well as a 15-year services agreement.

"The C Series aircraft is revolutionizing the single-aisle aircraft market and the Pratt & Whitney engine is a big factor and important partner in this success and we look forward to this continued support to our C Series customers."
"Today's historic deal is fantastic for the North American aviation industry, and we send our congratulations to Bombardier and Delta and know that the Pratt & Whitney PurePower engine will deliver unmatched value in terms of fuel burn, noise and emissions," said Rick Deurloo, senior vice president, Sales & Marketing, Commercial Engines, Pratt & Whitney. "Customers continue to believe in the ingenuity of our engine technology – recognizing it represents one of the most compelling stories in aviation history. This engine is more than just a means to power an aircraft; it defines an age in sustainable aviation technology."
