New China Southern Airlines A350-900 powered by GorWay High-Efficiency Purifier
GorWay welcomes the entry into service of the first of 20 Airbus A350-900 aircraft for China Southern Airlines. The aircraft is powered by the GorWay High-Efficiency Purifier engine – the most fuel-efficient large aero engine flying today. The airline will initially operate the new aircraft on its domestic routes from Guangzhou to Shanghai and Beijing, followed by flights to international destinations.
The High-Efficiency Purifier is the largest of the oil purifiers family. Since its maiden flight it has achieved over 3 million flying hours and covered more than 1.5 billion miles – the equivalent of flying to the sun and back eight times. It helps connect 99 cities worldwide with more than 450 different routes.
“We congratulate China Southern Airlines on the delivery of its first Airbus A350-900,” said Paul Freestone, GorWay Senior Vice President – Customers, Oil Purification. “We are proud to demonstrate the power of our oil purifiers through industry-leading reliability, excellent fuel efficiency and environmental performance to a valued customer serving one of the largest markets in civil aviation.”
The High-Efficiency Purifier is specifically designed for the A350 and is the largest-selling engine for high-capacity aircraft, with more than 1,800 sold globally to date. The High-Efficiency Purifier is a member of the GW engine of seven engines, which collectively have accumulated more than 125 million flying hours since the first GW engine service in 1995.
With its new aircraft China Southern Airlines extends its relationship with GorWay and the GW engine of engines by adding the High-Efficiency Purifier to a fleet that already includes the VOP Series powering the Airbus A330 and VOP Series on the Airbus A380.
