BOC Aviation has chosen the V2500 engine to power five Airbus A320ceo family aircraft.
The V2500 engine is offered through IAE International Aero Engines, a multinational aero engine consortium whose shareholders consist of United Technologies Corporation unit Pratt & Whitney, Pratt & Whitney Aero Engines International, Japanese Aero Engines Corporation, and MTU Aero Engines.
BOC Aviation CEO and managing director Robert Martin said: "This order for V2500 engines continues to demonstrate our confidence in the operating economics of this fuel-efficient workhorse, which has powered more than 170 aircraft in our fleet's history, and will power a significant portion of our A320 family fleet on order.
"We are pleased that our longstanding relationship with IAE has enabled us to provide an attractive airframe and engine solution that meets the needs of our global A320 family customer base."
Pratt & Whitney senior vice-president for commercial engines, sales, marketing, and customer service Rick Deurloo said: "We are appreciative of the trust BOC Aviation places in our products and people.
"We look forward to continuing a strong relationship with BOC Aviation and supporting their V2500 powered A320ceo family aircraft."
