Qingdao Airlines has received its first A320neo aircraft powered by the Pratt & Whitney Geared Turbofan (GTFTM) engine. Pratt & Whitney will provide engine maintenance to Qingdao Airlines through a long-term EngineWiseTM integrated service agreement. Qingdao Airlines is the 8th GTF engine operator in China.
Wu Longxue, President of Nanshan Aviation Industry Group and President of Qingdao Airlines Co., Ltd. said, "As we receive the first A320neo aircraft, Qingdao Airlines has an exciting milestone today. We believe that the GTF engine will bring the fuel we are looking forward to. The savings and environmental footprint are reduced, and a quieter flight experience for the majority of passengers."
Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Qingdao, Shandong Province, Qingdao Airlines announced in November 2016 that it has selected the GTF engine to power its 18 A320neo series aircraft. Qingdao Airlines operates a number of domestic and international routes serving a wide range of destinations in China and Northeast Asia.
Rick Deurloo, Senior Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Customer Support at Pratt & Whitney, said, "We are pleased to welcome Qingdao Airlines to the Pratt & Whitney family. The GTF engine brings proven economics to Qingdao Airlines' operations. We are proud to grow with their fleet and look forward to a long and bright future."
Since its inception in early 2016, the GTF engine has demonstrated its promised performance, reducing fuel consumption by 16 per cent, reducing nitrogen oxide emissions by 50 per cent, and reducing the noise footprint by 75 per cent.
