Delta Air Lines’ new fleet of Boeing aircraft will fly with GE Aerospace engines underwing, another win for the world’s largest aircraft engine maker in a space it has lately dominated over one of its main rivals.
Delta in a Jan. 13 media release announced the order for 30 new Boeing 787 Dreamliner wide-body aircraft as well as the engine order for 60 GEnx engines and spares.
Deliveries will begin in 2031, a reflection of the backlogged nature of both aircraft and engine that holds widely in the aerospace sector. GE Aerospace CEO Larry Culp in the most recent earnings release said the company is in effect “sold out” of the GEnx through the rest of this decade.
