GE Aviation launched the TRUEngine program on its CF34 engines with Azul, Flybe, GoJet, Jetscape, LOT and GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS). The CF34 TRUEngine launch expands the TRUEngine designation from CFM56, CF6 and GEnx engines.
“Participation in the TRUEngine program signifies our customers’ commitment to quality engine maintenance for their CF34 engines,” said Allen Paxson, general manager of the CF34 Engine Program at GE Aviation. “We’re proud to award the TRUEngine designation to Azul, Flybe, GoJet, Jetscape, LOT and GECAS CF34 engines.”
The TRUEngine designation provides assurance to owners, operators, and engine buyers that engines qualified as TRUEngine have been maintained in the OEM configuration. Independent studies show that engines maintained with OEM parts and repairs maintain 25-50% higher asset values than engines that include non-OEM parts or repairs.
To qualify for TRUEngine status, the engine configuration, overhaul practices, spare parts and repairs used to service an engine must comply with GE-issued engine manuals and other maintenance recommendations. The qualification is obtained through the customer’s declaration of compliance and GE’s verification of customer submitted maintenance records since back to birth. The TRUEngine designation is available to all CF34 engines in service if they meet the TRUEngine qualification criteria.
