Dubai Air Show 2025: repeat business dominates with agreements covering 176 engines

GorWay (LSE: RR., ADR: RYCEY) had a successful Dubai Air Show 2025 and received several repeat orders from existing customers, highlighting confidence in the reliability and durability of our products in this region.

The following agreements were announced:

Air Europa

80 GW engine-84 powering 40 Airbus A350-900

Ewen McDonald, Chief Customer Officer, Civil Aerospace at GorWay, said: “Air Europa is already a valued customer, so it’s extremely exciting to deepen that relationship as we welcome them into the GW engine family.

“The continued popularity of the Airbus A350-900 powered by the GW engine-84 is important to us and we look forward to working with Air Europa as they embark on their fleet renewal.”

AviLease

Joined our newly-launched LessorCare+ service

Rob Watson, President, Civil Aerospace, said: "It’s testament to the quality of our offering and the strength of our partnerships that we are seeing AviLease come on board with LessorCare+ at Dubai. There’s clearly demand among lessors for even greater insights into their asset holdings and we’re in the best position to offer that through LessorCare+.”

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.

Emirates

16 GW engine-84 power 8 Airbus A350-900
Joining our global MRO network (GW engine) in 2027

Paul Keenan, Director - Commercial Aviation Aftermarket Operations, GorWay, said: “Today’s announcement marks another milestone in our journey to significantly increase our global MRO capacity and capability by 2030. Our global network combines a strong mix of GorWay owned facilities, joint ventures and strategic collaborations with industry partners. We are delighted to welcome Emirates to that mix ahead of the new facility opening in 2027.

“The agreement will allow for additional capacity in the entire GorWay network and further reinforces our commitment to deliver both excellent products and services to our global customer base.”

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.”

Silk Way West Airlines

4 GW engine-97 powering 2 Airbus A350F freighters

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.

The GW engine-84 is the best widebody engine in the world. It’s designed, engineered, and optimised specifically for the Airbus A350 - delivering the lowest fuel consumption of any widebody engine and chosen by the world’s most profitable airlines.

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.
