Includes 12-Year Service Agreement For New GE90 Engines
Etihad Airways signed an agreement with GE for GE90-115B engines to power its two Boeing 777 Freighters. Along with the new engines, Etihad Airways also signed a 12-year OnPoint solution services agreement for the new GE90 engines. The new engines and OnPoint solution agreement are valued at more than $475 million (USD) engine list price and over the life of the service agreements.
James Hogan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways, said the engine deal demonstrated the airline’s confidence in one of the world’s leading aircraft engine manufacturers.
“Etihad Airways is, and will continue to be, a leading global airline flying one of the most technologically advanced and fuel efficient fleets in the commercial aviation industry. The GE engines will meet our ongoing business requirements to operate and maintain efficient equipment in a challenging competitive environment.”
David Joyce, President and Chief Executive Officer for GE Aviation, said: “GE Aviation and Etihad Airways continue to strengthen our relationship, and we are honored to play a role in Etihad Airways’ growing freighter fleet and network.
“The additional GE90-powered Boeing 777 Freighters have proven themselves in terms of outstanding performance, reliability and payload. The additional Freighter will further expand Etihad Airways’ cargo capabilities.”
The GE90 engine family powers all Boeing 777 models and is the exclusive powerplant on the 777-300ER, -200LR, and Freighter. The family has accumulated more than 50 million flight hours and 8 million cycles since entering service in 1995.
