Zhuhai, China, Nov. 8, 2022 – Pratt & Whitney today announced that Shenzhen Airlines has selected Pratt & Whitney GTF™ engines to power its inaugural fleet of six Airbus A321neo aircraft, which the airline sourced from ICBC Leasing. Shenzhen Airlines has also selected an EngineWise® Comprehensive service agreement for long-term engine maintenance. The airline expects to receive its first GTF-powered A321neo aircraft later this year.

“Shenzhen Airlines is taking a big step forward by adding the larger, longer-range A321neo to its fleet,” said Lori Liu, president, Greater China at Pratt & Whitney. “With GTF engines and an EngineWise® agreement, they will get not only the highest fuel efficiency and lowest carbon emissions available for the A321neo, but also low operating costs and more predictable maintenance.”
