Ireland-based aircraft leasing company Avolon selects RTX (New York Stock Exchange:RTX) Pratt & Whitney GTF engines to power up to 160 Airbus A320neo family aircraft.
The order means Avolon will have 158 GTF-powered aircraft in its delivered and committed fleet, with options for engines to power 80 additional aircraft.
This was Pratt & Whitney's largest transaction with a lessor for its GTF engines.
The announcement was made during the Farnborough Airshow on July 23, 2024.
“These engines will boost our strong order book for A320neo Family aircraft and put us in an excellent position to serve our customers' narrowbody aircraft needs through 2030 and beyond,” said Andy Cronin, Avolon's chief executive officer.
