TUI signs service agreements for GEnx engine fleet

GE Aerospace has extended its current services agreement with TUI, along with a new TrueChoice Service agreement that covers the maintenance, repair and overhaul of the airline’s GEnx engine-powered Boeing 787 commercial fleet. “GE Aerospace is honoured to continue our partnership with TUI to keep their GEnx fleet operating safely and reliably,” said Russell Stokes, president and CEO, commercial engines and services at GE Aerospace. “This is a testament to the journey that started in 2005 between GE Aerospace and TUI Airline, as the GEnx launch customer. It’s a privilege to continue delivering exceptional services and customer support.” TUI Airline and GE Aerospace also have a TrueChoice Service agreement for CFM56-7B engines, and TUI currently operates Boeing 737-8 with CFM LEAP engines. Marco Ciomperlik, chief airline officer at TUI Group said: “GE Aerospace’s partnership on the operations of TUI’s 787 is key to reinforce our long-haul holiday network. This ONPOINT agreement extension and the new TrueChoice™ Service agreement provides the services coverage required for our engines in line with TUI’s fleet plan,” The services extension comes in preparation of the transition to the new TrueChoice engine maintenance offerings for TUI’s GEnx fleet.
