GE Aviation and Lufthansa Technik are cooperating to boost support for GEnx-2B and GE9X turbofans.

Under a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed Monday evening in Paris, Lufthansa Technik AG and GE Aviation agreed to create a new engine overhaul facility in Europe to service GEnx-2B and GE9X engines. Closing of the new joint venture, which is expected to be operational in 2018, is subject to “receipt of required regulatory approvals,” the companies said.
