Juneyao Airlines has signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the V2500 engine to power its order of 12 Airbus A321ceo aircraft. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in November 2015. The deal also includes a 15-year V-ServicesSM Fleet Hour Agreement (FHA). The V2500 engine is offered through International Aero Engines AG, a multinational aero engine consortium whose shareholders comprise Pratt & Whitney (NYSE: UTX), Pratt & Whitney Aero Engines International GmbH, Japanese Aero Engines Corporation and MTU Aero Engines.
"Just shy of our 10-year anniversary, Juneyao Airlines is expanding rapidly and making its mark in the Chinese aviation industry," said Wang Junjin, Chairman of Juneyao Airlines. "Integrating reliable and robust technology, such as the A321ceo aircraft with the V2500 engine, is valuable to the future of our business."
"The growth and success that Juneyao Airlines has achieved in 10 short years is impressive," said Greg Gernhardt, president, Pratt & Whitney Commercial Engines. "I'm excited that Juneyao has selected the V2500 engine for its new A321ceo fleet and I'd like to welcome Juneyao as a new V2500 and Pratt & Whitney customer."
