Article Summary
BUY- Pratt & Whitney (NYSE: RTX) announced the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has certified the GTF AdvantageTM-powered Airbus A320neo family aircraft, preparing the way for production engine deliveries and entry into service this year.
- The engine was certified by the U.S.
- Federal Aviation Administration in February 2025 and validated by EASA in October 2025, delivering 4-8% more takeoff thrust enabling higher payload and longer range, with full cutover expected in 2028.
- The GTF engine delivers lowest fuel consumption for single-aisle aircraft, extending that lead by offering up to double the time on wing and enhancing aircraft capability, while delivering even greater value to operators of A320s.
- Raytheon Technologies continues to invest in its sites to increase production capacity including nearly $1 billion at its turbine airfoil facility in Asheville, North Carolina, and $200 million at Columbus, Georgia forging facility, with over 2,700 GTF-powered aircraft delivered to more than 90 customers worldwide.
