GE Aerospace (NYSE:GE) announced today that it has reached a multi-year service agreement with China Airlines that covers the maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) of GE9X engines for the airline’s 14 new Boeing 777X aircraft.
China Airlines, a leading Taiwan-based carrier, has been a GE Aerospace customer since 1999 when it first purchased GE CF6-80C2 powered Boeing 747-400 aircraft. China Airlines had signed service agreements with GE Aerospace for GE90 and GEnx to provide services for its B777-300ER and B787 fleet.
“We are grateful that China Airlines selected GE Aerospace to service its new GE9X engines and for continuing to place their trust in our products and services,” said Russell Stokes, President and CEO, Commercial Engines and Services, GE Aerospace. “We will continue to work closely with them to support the GE9X’s entry into service and smooth operation of their 777X fleet.”
