Engine Alliance Enters Revenue Service With Etihad Airways

First Flights For Carrier's A380s Conducted Late Last Month

GP7200 engines have entered revenue service with Etihad Airways’ first EA-powered A380. The airline operated its first revenue flights on December 27, 2014 between Abu Dhabi International Airport and London Heathrow Airport.

“We are excited to welcome Etihad Airways to the Engine Alliance family,” said EA President Dean Athans. “Etihad gains the benefit of more than 3.3 million hours of GP7200 experience, in addition to the PW4000, GE90 and GEnx experience that have directly benefitted the GP7200 engine. We are proud to be the engine of choice in the Middle East.”

The Engine Alliance says the GP7200 engine has sustained an average of 99.9% departure reliability since entry into service. Additionally, customers have benefitted from a fuel savings advantage of up to $1 million per aircraft per year.

The EA-powered A380 entered service in August 2008. Currently 82 EA-powered A380s are in operation around the globe: 57 with Emirates, ten with Air France, ten with Korean Air, four with Qatar Airways and one with Etihad Airways.
