GE Aerospace Wins Deal From Korean Air to Supply Engines
Read MoreHide Full Article
GE Aerospace (GE - Free Report) recently secured a contract from Korean Air to supply GEnx and GE9X engines following the latter’s deal with The Boeing Company (BA - Free Report) to buy 20 777-9s and up to 30 787-10s aircraft.
The latest deal will also involve GE providing the maintenance, repair and overhaul services to Korean Air for the GE9X engines. This marks the company’s first GE9X order in South Korea.
Since the launch of GEnx, the engine family has completed more than 62 million flight hours. Of late, more than 3,600 of these engines are in service and backlog, which includes the spare units. The GEnx engine is installed in two-thirds of all Boeing 787 aircraft currently in service. The GE9X engine powers the Boeing 777X family of aircraft and provides 10% improved specific fuel consumption compared with its predecessor, the GE90-115B engine.
This order is a testimony to the long-standing collaboration between GE Aerospace and Korean Air, which currently has a strong GE-powered fleet. The fleet comprises GE90-110B/115B and LEAP-1B engines. Apart from engine technology, Korean Air also uses GE’s advanced Flight Data Monitoring system and Safety Insight to strengthen its safety protocols and operational efficiency.
GE also announced its plan to invest more than €78 million in 2025 to expand and upgrade its manufacturing facilities in Europe. These investments will allow the company to boost its production capacities and provide better services to its commercial and defense customers.
GE’s Zacks Rank & Price Performance
The company currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). GE Aerospace is benefiting from a growing installed base and higher utilization of engine platforms, driven by strong momentum and growth across commercial and defense sectors. Rising U.S. & international defense budgets, geopolitical tensions, positive airline and airframer dynamics and robust demand for commercial air travel augur well for the company.
