The first A320neo powered by Pratt & Whitney PurePower engines has been delivered to IndiGo. It is part of one of the largest engine orders in Pratt & Whitney’s long history.
This is the beginning of the delivery schedule to fulfill IndiGo’s order of 150 Airbus A320neo family aircraft powered by PurePower Geared Turbofan engines. IndiGo is India’s largest low-cost and fastest growing carrier.
The PurePower engine is proving to be popular internationally. In February, Brazilian aircraft maker Embraer formally rolled out its passenger jet powered with Pratt & Whitney Co.’s PurePower geared turbofan engines.
The first E-Jet E2 aircraft flight is due to take place in 2016, with deliveries expected for 2018.
Pratt said that, to date, Embraer has received orders, options and letters of intent for more than 640 E-Jets E2s.
