GE Aviation will supply its CF6-80E1 engines to power the two new Airbus A330-300 aircraft operated by Singapore-based BOC Aviation. The two aircraft have been placed on long-term lease with EVA Airways Corporation. With 256 aircraft operated by 61 airlines in 30 countries worldwide, BOC Aviation is primarily involved in leasing aircraft. Bank of China-owned BOC Aviation aims to acquire 195 aircraft this year. The firm has operations in Dublin, London, Seattle and Tianjin. The Airbus airplanes will be delivered to BOC Aviation by 2017.
Our choice of GE Aviation’s CF6 engines demonstrates our confidence in the reliability and proven strong operational performance of the engine, said Robert Martin, managing director and chief executive officer of BOC Aviation.
We have purchased more than 340 engines from GE Aviation and its joint ventures, and we look forward to continue building on this enduring partnership with them to meet the needs of our customers.
