|August 2024
FIA 2024 witnessed a growing order book for aircraft engine manufacturers and provided important insights into the development of sustainable powerplants.

Pratt & Whitney, CFM International and GE Aerospace all bagged sizeable orders at this year's edition of the Farnborough International Airshow. In total, orders for aircraft engines and support services were pegged at $8.23 billion (₹68,885 crore) at FIA 2024. In addition to these orders important insights were provided into the future propulsion projects underway with major engine OEMs and new entrants such as ZeroAvia.
RTX's Pratt & Whitney GTF Engines racked up a series of orders at FIA 2024, scoring over 600 orders. Pratt & Whitney has now crossed 950 engine orders and commitments as of July 2024. In total, over 11,000 GTF engine orders and commitments have been placed by more than 90 customers worldwide. "These orders demonstrate continued customer confidence in Pratt & Whitney and the value the GTF engine offers with its world-class economic and environmental benefits," said Rick Deurloo, president of Commercial Engines at Pratt & Whitney.
CFM International ended FIA 2024 with orders for 352 LEAP engines from Avolon, Macquarie AirFinance and Nordic Aviation Capital (NAC). GE Aerospace benefited from the widebody orders for over 250 engines. GE bagged orders for GEnx-1B engines to power its 787s belonging to Japan Airlines. British Airways and EVA Air also received orders for GE90-110B engines from cargo operators National Airlines and Turkish Cargo. This was in addition to engine services agreements for GE90 engines and an American Airlines order for 180 CF34-8E engines plus spares to power its fleet of 90 new Embraer 175 regional jets.
