BOC Aviation confirms order for up to 220 engines from RTX’s Pratt & Whitney
GTF engines will power Airbus A320neo family aircraft orders
Farnborough, July 21, 2026. BOC Aviation Limited has announced an order for up to 220 Pratt & Whitney GTFTM engines, which will power up to 110 Airbus A320neo family aircraft. Pratt & Whitney is an RTX business.
“With this latest order, BOC Aviation is demonstrating its continued confidence in the GTF, which is the most fuel-efficient engine for single aisle aircraft,” said Rick Deurloo, President of Commercial Engines at Pratt & Whitney. “We have a strong relationship with BOC Aviation that we will continue to build upon to meet growing airline demand.”
“This order is the largest that BOC Aviation has placed with Pratt & Whitney and a continuation of our 29-year relationship, reflecting the key role they have played in our growth,” said Steven Townend, chief executive officer and managing director at BOC Aviation. “GTF engines enable a substantial reduction in fuel costs, contributing to the efficiency of our future fleet.”
The GTF delivers 20% lower fuel consumption and a 75% smaller noise footprint compared to the prior generation of engines. Over 2,800 GTF-powered aircraft are operated globally by more than 90 customers, and the order backlog of over 8,000 GTF engines reflects strong market demand for its proven benefits. The engine’s revolutionary geared architecture is the right foundation for next generation technologies.
Note, the order was originally signed and listed as an undisclosed deal in June 2025.
