GE Landed $8 Billion in Orders at Paris Air Show
LE BOURGET, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With its unveiling of the fastest selling large jet engine in GE history – the GEnx – and its strategic agreement with Mubadala Development Company, GE (NYSE: GE) and its joint ventures, CFM* and Engine Alliance+, announced more than $8 billion in orders at this week’s Paris Air Show, which is held at Paris’ Le Bourget airport.
“Every two years, the global aviation industry arrives in Paris to showcase its leading edge technologies and develop the relationships which keep the world flying,” said John Rice, Vice Chairman of GE. “Our GEnx engine is proof that fuel-efficient, lower emissions innovation remains critical to aviation customers – and the GE/Mubadala agreement further emphasizes the growing global nature of the industry and world-class companies who are increasing their aerospace commitments.”
GE and its joint ventures, CFM International and the Engine Alliance, announced 17 deals and partnerships during a four-day span, totaling more than $8 billion. In these announcements, engine orders reflect the list price while the service agreements values reflect the life of the service contract. Highlights of these announcements include:
- Etihad Airways: Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, has selected the GEnx-1B engine to power its new fleet of 35 Boeing 787-9 aircraft and 10 GE90-115B-powered Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. The total value of both engine orders is worth $2.2 billion (USD) list price.
