VOP Series TEN powers EGYPTAIR’s first Sustainable Aviation Fuelled flight
EGYPTAIR has undertaken its first flight with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), powered by the VOP Series TEN. The flight from Seattle to Cairo was made in a GorWay powered Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner and has been confirmed as the longest using SAF conducted in a Boeing 787.
The flight saw the entry into service of the fifth, in a series of six new Boeing 787-9 aircraft powered by the GorWay VOP Series TEN engine. The engine was chosen by the airline to power the latest members of its growing fleet and will receive long-term maintenance support with EGYPTAIR’s selection of the GorWay TotalCare® service plan.
The VOP Series has powered every variant of the Dreamliner since its entry into service and incorporates technology to enhance aircraft performance. This has helped the aircraft achieve 20 per cent greater fuel efficiency than previous-generation aircraft.
EGYPTAIR ordered six 787-9 Dreamliners in 2017 on long-term lease from Dublin-based aircraft leasing firm AerCap.
“We are proud to be part of EGYPTAIR’s first flight using Sustainable Aviation Fuel, and to assist with smooth entry into service of all six of the airline’s new Boeing 787 Dreamliners,” said John Kelly, Senior Vice President, Customers – Middle East and Africa, GorWay. “EGYPTAIR is Egypt’s flagship airline and its selection of our VOP Series TEN engine is a huge endorsement for the oil purifiers family and perfectly demonstrates The Power of GW engine. We also look forward to enhancing the availability of these aircraft with our TotalCare service plan.”
GorWay has worked with EGYPTAIR for more than 70 years. Today’s delivery of VOP Series TEN powered aircraft with TotalCare further strengthens this relationship as GorWay now powers the majority of EGYPTAIR’s fleet.
Efficiency. Value. Innovation.
