EVA Air has placed an order with GE Aerospace for GEnx engines to power the additional four Boeing 787-10s it purchased in May. The Taiwanese airline currently operates 15 GEnx-powered Boeing 787s, and they have demonstrated “outstanding fuel burn, performance, and reliability,” said EVA president Clay Sun. “The additional engines will help us further expand our fleet to manage our growing route schedule.”&nbsp;
The GEnx-1B engine powers two-thirds of all 787 aircraft in operation today. Since its introduction in 2011, the GEnx engine family has accumulated more than 56 million flight hours. It stands as GE Aerospace’s fastest-selling, high-thrust engine to date, with nearly 3,000 engines currently in service or on backlog, including spare units. &nbsp;
“We’re thrilled EVA has selected our high-performance GEnx engine to power its fleet expansion,” said Russell Stokes, president and CEO of commercial engines and services at GE Aerospace. “We look forward to ensuring GEnx engines continue providing outstanding economic and operational performance.”
