CALC orders Pratt & Whitney engines for 18 A320neo aircraft
INDEPENDENT operating aircraft lessor, China Aircraft Leasing Group Holdings Ltd (CALC) has signed a memorandum of understanding to purchase Pratt & Whitney PurePower engines to power 18 Airbus A320neo aircraft with deliveries starting in 2017.
The aircraft engines offer a broad range of benefits, including fuel burn improvement, lower emissions and less noise while reducing operating cost, a CALC statement said.
CALC vice president Jens Dunker said the company was the first Chinese lessor to select the PW1100G-JM engine for its A320neo aircraft. "Ordering for next generation narrow bodies is part of our long-term growth strategy," he said.
CALC is expanding its portfolio to meet airlines' strong demand for cutting-edge and reliable aircraft offerings to capture market opportunities.
This PurePower engine announcement is in addition to a V2500 engine order for eight A320ceos previously ordered by CALC.
Its current portfolio is made up of 49 Airbus and Boeing aircraft with an average age of 2.5 years. In December 2014, CALC placed a large order one hundred A320 series aircraft, bringing its order book to one hundred and forty A320s.
