The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certified the Airbus A320neo family powered by Pratt & Whitney’s GTF Advantage engine. This milestone enables production deliveries and entry into service later this year.
The upgraded engine reduces fuel consumption compared to current models. It delivers 4-8% more takeoff thrust. This enhancement allows for higher payloads and longer-range capabilities.
Pratt & Whitney claims the engine offers up to double the time on wing. The design increases operational reliability and value for Airbus customers.
