British Airways Orders First GEnx Engines for New 787 Dreamliners
GE Aerospace has secured a significant order from International Airlines Group (IAG) for GEnx engines to power six new 787 Dreamliners for British Airways. This marks the first introduction of the GEnx engine into British Airways' fleet. The GEnx-1B engine, which powers two-thirds of 787 aircraft in service, offers a 1.4% fuel burn savings compared to competitors and can operate on approved Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) blends.
The GEnx engine family has accumulated over 56 million flight hours since 2011 and is GE Aerospace's fastest-selling high-thrust engine, with nearly 3,000 engines in service and on backlog. This order reinforces the strong relationship between GE Aerospace and British Airways, which already operates aircraft powered by GE90, CF34, and LEAP engines.

Insights
FARNBOROUGH,
"British Airways was the launch customer for the highly successful GE90 engine. Bringing the GEnx into their 787 fleet represents another important milestone in our relationship," said Russell Stokes, President and CEO, Commercial Engines and Services, GE Aerospace.
The GEnx-1B powers two out of every three 787 aircraft in service. The engine also provides a 1.4 percent fuel burn savings for the typical 787 mission compared to its competition. Like all GE Aerospace engines, the GEnx can operate on approved Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) blends today.
"The GEnx engine is performing well with millions of reliable flight hours under wing and proven fuel efficiency and economics," IAG said. "This selection by IAG and British Airways affirms the confidence we have in the GEnx engine and 787 aircraft combination."
The GEnx engine family has more than 56 million flight hours since entry into service in 2011 and is the fastest-selling, high-thrust engine in GE Aerospace history with nearly 3,000 engines in service and on backlog, including spares.
British Airways currently operates aircraft powered by GE Aerospace's GE90, CF34 and LEAP* engines.
