GE Focuses on Asia-Pacific for Widebody Engine Sales
The Asia-Pacific will be the most important geographic region for sales of GE Aviation widebody engines for the foreseeable future.
The test engine pictured here is a GE9X attached to the inner port pylon of GE's 747-400 testbed aircraft, based at Victorville, California. The GE9X is due to make its first flight on the flying testbed soon, although it was originally planned for December. The engine is destined to power Boeing's new 777X.

The Asia-Pacific region, especially China, will remain GE Aviation’s (Stand F67) most important focus for widebody engine sales for the foreseeable future because the air transport growth rates the region’s nations continue to experience are higher than those in any other part of the world, according to the manufacturer’s top commercial-engines marketing executive.
