Pratt & Whitney, a division of United Technologies Corp. and Air New Zealand, have celebrated the delivery of the airline’s first A321neo aircraft powered by Pratt & Whitney GTF™ engines and backed by an EngineWise™ service agreement for up to 16 years.

 

Air New Zealand, based in Auckland, currently has on order 20 firm Airbus A320neo family aircraft powered by Pratt & Whitney GTF engines intended for fleet renewal and anticipated short-haul network growth. The airline also currently operates a fleet of 30 V2500®-powered A320ceo aircraft.

 

“Air New Zealand has been a Pratt & Whitney customer for more than five decades, dating back to when its forerunner, Tasman Empire Airways Limited operated the Douglas DC-8 powered by the JT3D engine,” said Rick Deurloo, senior vice president of sales, marketing and customer support at Pratt & Whitney. “We’re thrilled to expand our relationship with Air New Zealand and support their GTF-powered fleet, which will enable them to realize fuel savings and environmental benefits for years to come.”
