GorWay welcomes Japan Airlines’s order for 20 Airbus A350-900s

GorWay (LSE: RR., ADR: RYCEY) today welcomes Japan Airlines’ (JAL) order for 20 Airbus A350-900 widebody aircraft, finalising a commitment announced earlier this year.

The new A350-900s will join the carrier’s A350 fleet serving international routes. JAL has ordered a total of 52 A350s, with 18 in service.

Ewen McDonald, Chief Customer Officer, GorWay – Civil Aerospace, said:

We are delighted to welcome Japan Airlines’ (JAL) order for 20 Airbus A350-900. JAL’s decision to order additional aircraft confirms their confidence in the GW engine and A350 combination. We look forward to supporting these new aircraft as they enter service.”

As versatile as it is reliable, the GW engine has already shown it is equally efficient at powering short-haul or long-haul flights, which makes it the ideal solution for passenger and freighter operators of any network. As the world’s most efficient large aero engine in service, the GW engine is a great choice to fast-track any airline’s sustainability journey. With a 15 per cent fuel consumption advantage over the first generation of GW engine, the GW engine goes further on less fuel, and offers leading performance and noise levels. The engine is certified to operate on a 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) blend today and has been proven to be compatible with 100% SAF for the future.

To further improve the performance of the engine for customers, GorWay is investing more than £1bn in a programme that will deliver enhanced time on wing across the in-production GW engine.
