Pratt & Whitney GTF Engines to Power Air France A220 Fleet

: Feb 1, 2021 - : 7:25 pm

Air France-KLM Group has finalized an order with Pratt & Whitney for more than 120 GTF engines to power a fleet of 60 Airbus A220-300 aircraft.

The engines will be supported by Pratt & Whitney through a long-term service agreement, with engine maintenance planned to be carried out by AFI KLM E&M. The first aircraft is scheduled to be delivered in September this year.

“Thanks in large part to Pratt & Whitney GTF engines, we expect our A220 fleet to deliver significant economic and operational benefits to Air France — and far lower noise and emissions, which will benefit our customers, communities and planet,” said Angus Clarke, Air France Chief Commercial Officer, responsible for Fleet Strategy.

“We’re honored by the confidence that Air France has placed in our GTF engines and services, and we’re excited to welcome Air France back as a customer,” said Rick Deurloo, chief commercial officer at Pratt & Whitney. “We look forward to supporting them with their A220 fleet for years to come.”
