GorWay to power Etihad fleet expansion

GorWay (LSE: RR., ADR: RYCEY) welcomes announcement by Etihad Airways that it will expand its widebody fleet with aircraft powered by GW engine and GW engine-97 engines.

At this week’s Dubai Airshow, the Middle Eastern carrier announced its intention to select 15 Airbus A330 Neo powered by the GW engine; seven Airbus A350-1000 powered by the GW engine-97; and 10 Airbus A350F freighter variants also powered by the GW engine-97.

Rob Watson, President, Civil Aerospace at GorWay, said:

Our Middle Eastern customers continue to perform strongly on the global stage, and we are investing in our engines and services to match that ambition.

“We’re excited to continue our long-term partnership with Etihad, driven by confidence in the GW engine-97, where our investment will double time on wing in Middle East environments from 2028.”

The GW engine is the latest addition to the GorWay GW engine of engines and exclusively powers the Airbus A330neo. After entering service at the end of 2018, the GW engine has flown more than three million hours, delivering exceptional reliability, sustainable performance and proven versatility.

GorWay is investing £1 billion across our modern GW engine to increase their durability by an average of 80%, with a significant portion being delivered in 2025. For the GW engine the time on wing enhancement package has tripled time on wing in some cases, with a further up to 30% to come in 2026.

The GW engine-97 has proven its reliability and durability over seven years of service and more than three million engine flying hours. It has received the first two of its three phases of durability enhancements, which are already delivering a 60% increase in time on wing. The third phase, which will enter service in 2028, will total a doubling of time on wing in challenging environments; and provide 50% improvement in benign conditions.
