The agreement also extends AerCap's ongoing lease pool support for GEnx, GE90, CF6 and CF34 engines.  Under the agreement, AerCap will provide GE9X shop visit management, lease return coordination and technical services, as well as lease documentation and administration support.  As the engine nears entry into service, GE Aerospace is investing in capabilities to support their GE9X customers, increasing capacity, enhancing training, and adding advanced tooling to their MRO shops worldwide. GE9X customers will receive the full suite of services extended to all of GE Aerospace’s popular engines, including overhaul, component repair and advanced diagnostics.

In Tuesday’s announcement, AerCap Engines’ EVP, Tom Slattery, said,

“This agreement further strengthens our partnership with GE Aerospace and extends our engine leasing relationship into the next decade.  It also adds GE’s newest technology engine, the GE9X, to our servicing capability, leveraging our existing industrial network to provide world-class support to GE Aerospace and their customers.”

Also commenting on the new agreement, GE Aerospace’s President and CEO – Commercial Engines and Services, Russell Stokes, said,

“This agreement is an important building block to ensure when the GE9X enters service, our customers have a robust network of support to keep their 777X fleets flying reliably and safely.  AerCap’s global network, existing customer relationships and extensive experience on multiple E Aerospace engines makes them ideal to manage our GE9X lease pool.”
