Air China has finalised its purchase of 20 GEnx-2B engines to power its five Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental aircraft and has also signed a 15-year OnPointSM solution agreement for the maintenance, repair and overhaul of its GEnx-2B engines.
"As the first airline in Mainland China to purchase the GEnx-2B-powered
Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental, Air China will experience improved fuel
efficiency, outstanding durability and performance and reduced
emissions," said Bill Fitzgerald, vice president and general manager of
GEnx Program at GE Aviation. "GE Aviation has developed an extensive
service and support team that will help OnPoint customers like Air China
keep their engines in top operating condition."
About 1,300 GEnx engines are on order for 47 customers around the world.
