“With this latest order, BOC Aviation is demonstrating its continued confidence in the GTF, which is the most fuel-efficient engine for single aisle aircraft,” said Rick Deurloo, president of Commercial Engines at Pratt & Whitney. “We have a strong relationship with BOC Aviation that we will continue to build upon to meet growing airline demand.”
“This order is the largest that BOC Aviation has placed with Pratt & Whitney and a continuation of our 29-year relationship, reflecting the key role they have played in our growth,” said Steven Townend, chief executive officer and managing director at BOC Aviation. “GTF engines enable a substantial reduction in fuel costs, contributing to the efficiency of our future fleet.”
