Vietjet, Pratt & Whitney ink deal for 44 engines to power Airbus jets
HANOI, Feb 4 (Reuters) - Vietnamese budget airline Vietjet has entered into an agreement for Pratt & Whitney, a subsidiary of RTX RTX.N, to supply GTF engines for 44 Airbus AIR.PA aircraft, boosting its total GTF-powered fleet orders to 137, the companies said on Wednesday.
The deal, announced at the Singapore Airshow, includes 24 A321neo and 20 A321XLR planes, with deliveries commencing in July. It also encompasses a 12-year maintenance agreement, they said in a joint statement.
The financial terms were not disclosed.
Vietjet, which deployed its first A321neo in 2018, currently operates 42 GTF-powered aircraft and aims to equip a total of 93 jets with the fuel-efficient engines.
Last year, the airline placed an order for 100 Airbus A321neo jets, further expanding its fleet of narrow-body planes.
Pratt & Whitney competes with CFM International to supply engines for A321neo and A321XLR planes.
