    The Vice President of Commercial Programs at GE Aerospace, Kathy MacKenzie, expressed her satisfaction: «For GE Aerospace, it is an honor that Air Canada continues to place its trust in our GEnx engines, and we look forward to working together to introduce these engines into Air Canada’s fleet.»

    Air Canada received its first Dreamliner in 2014 and currently operates a fleet of 38 aircraft of this model, split between the -8 and -9 versions. All of these 787s are powered by GEnx engines. This new order further strengthens the commercial relationship between the Canadian airline and General Electric.

    Joshua Vanderveen, Vice President of Maintenance at Air Canada, stated: «Air Canada has been a customer of GE Aerospace for a long time, and we are delighted to support the rejuvenation of our fleet with these high-efficiency GEnx engines to provide uniformity and synergy across our entire Dreamliner fleet.»

    The GEnx engines have accumulated more than 50 million flight hours since their introduction in 2011. There are nearly 3,000 engines in service and on order, including spare parts.

    These engines also offer a fuel savings of 1.4% for the typical 787 mission compared to their competitors. The added fuel efficiency results in over 2 million pounds less CO₂ emissions per aircraft per year. Like all GE Aerospace engines, the GEnx can operate today with approved sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) blends.
