United Airlines has selected the GTF engine to power 70 Airbus A321neo and 50 A321XLR firm aircraft orders, the first of which is expected to be delivered this year.

Today Pratt & Whitney powers more than 250 United aircraft, including the Airbus A320ceo family with V2500 engines and the Boeing 777 and 767 aircraft with PW4000 engines.
Rick Deurloo, president of Commercial Engines at Pratt & Whitney, commented: "United and Pratt & Whitney share a celebrated history as pioneers of commercial air travel, as well as a commitment to more sustainable aviation as we look forward.GTF engines will enable United to get the most out of their A321neo and A321XLR aircraft, delivering industry leading payload, range and environmental performance for those aircraft types."
