Pratt & Whitney has announced more than 800 GTF engine orders and commitments, including spare engines, since the beginning of 2023. Airlines and lessors who have announced orders include Azorra, CALC, Carlyle Aviation Partners, Binter, Croatia Airlines, LATAM Airlines, Qantas Airways, United Airlines and Volaris.
In total, more than 10,000 GTF engine orders and commitments have been placed by more than 90 customers worldwide.
"The GTF engine offers unmatched economic and environmental benefits, and these latest orders are a testament to the value it delivers to customers," said Rick Deurloo, president of Commercial Engines, Pratt & Whitney. "The GTF Advantage engine will extend this lead while providing more thrust and higher durability. As we increase time on wing and resolve supply chain challenges, GTF engines will continue to drive reductions in operating costs, new routes and revenue, and progress towards meeting the industry's sustainability targets."
Pratt & Whitney claims that since entering service in 2016, GTF-powered aircraft have saved airlines more than 1.2 billion gallons, nearly five billion liters of fuel and the planet over 12 million metric tons of carbon emissions.
