GE Aerospace has secured a significant engine order from Korean Air following the airline's agreement to purchase 20 Boeing 777-9s and up to 30 787-10s. The deal includes GEnx and GE9X engines, along with a maintenance, repair, and overhaul service agreement for the GE9X engines, making Korean Air the first GE9X customer in South Korea.
The GEnx engine family has logged over 62 million flight hours since 2011 and powers two-thirds of all 787 aircraft in operation, with more than 3,600 engines in service and backlog. The GE9X engine, exclusively available for Boeing 777X aircraft, offers 10% better specific fuel consumption than its GE90-115B predecessor. Both engines are certified to operate on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) blends.
Korean Air currently operates a fleet with GE90-110B/115B, LEAP-1B, and CFM56-7B engines, and utilizes GE Aerospace's Flight Data Monitoring system, Safety Insight, for enhanced safety protocols and operational effectiveness.
GE Aerospace and Lufthansa Technik have inaugurated XEOS, a new engine maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility in Środa Śląska, Poland. The state-of-the-art 35,000 square meter facility specializes in servicing CFM LEAP engines for Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.
XEOS currently handles LEAP-1B shop visits, LEAP-1A module work, and engine testing, with plans to add LEAP-1B test cell capability. The facility employs 250 people and features an engine prep hall, main assembly hall, clean-and-inspect line, repair stations, training center, and advanced test cell.
LOT Polish Airlines, operating 18 Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft with 13 more on order, has become a key customer, having their LEAP-1B engines serviced at XEOS. This development marks GE Aerospace's 30-year presence in Poland, where it now employs over 2,000 people across six facilities and collaborates with 1,000+ local suppliers.
GE Aerospace (NYSE:GE) has achieved FAA certification for its Catalyst turboprop engine, marking a significant milestone as the first new centerline turboprop engine of the 21st century. The certification process involved extensive testing with over 23 engines and 190 component tests, completing more than 8,000 hours of operation.
The Catalyst engine features an industry-leading 16:1 overall pressure ratio, delivering up to 18% better fuel consumption and 10% higher cruise power compared to competitors. Key innovations include two stages of variable stator vanes, cooled high-pressure turbine blades, and additive manufacturing components.
Designed and manufactured at GE Aerospace sites across Europe, including facilities in Italy, Czech Republic, Poland, and Germany, the engine will power the Beechcraft Denali aircraft.

GE Aerospace (NYSE: GE) has successfully completed initial ground runs of its T901 engine on a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter at Sikorsky's West Palm Beach facility. The tests validated critical systems performance and gathered comprehensive data for the flight test program.
The T901 engine, building on GE's T700 engine legacy with over 100 million flight hours, delivers 50% more power and improved fuel efficiency. Key features include a simpler design with fewer parts, resulting in reduced life cycle costs. The engine provides increased range, longer loiter time, and reduced maintenance costs for the Army's fleet.
This milestone represents a significant advancement in the Improved Turbine Engine Program, demonstrating the T901's capability to meet the U.S. Army's performance requirements and supporting their modernization efforts.
GE Aerospace has secured an order for 210 T700 engines to power 96 Boeing AH-64E Apache Guardian helicopters for the Polish Armed Forces. This follows a cooperative agreement signed in August 2024 between GE Aerospace and the Polish Ministry of National Defense.
The agreement establishes that Military Aviation Works in Deblin (WZL-1) will provide licensed MRO support for T700 engines, while the Military University of Technology in Warsaw will manage training programs. This partnership will create high-value jobs in Poland and provide new areas of engine maintenance technology.
The T700/CT7 engine family has an impressive track record with over 25,000 engines delivered and 130 million total flight hours accumulated across 50 countries. In Europe alone, more than 1,300 T700/CT7 engines have been delivered or are on order for 20 European military customers.
