Emirates Airlines announced Tuesday that it has signed a $13 billion, 12-year OnPoint solution agreement with GE for the maintenance and complete overhaul of the new line of GE9X engines powering its 150 Boeing 777X aircraft.
The OnPoint solution contract is part of a larger arrangement announced at the 2013 Dubai Air Show, providing Emirates with 300 GE9X engines underan agreement worth more $15 billion.
David Joyce, president and CEO of GE Aviation, said the company has secured its largest ever commercial jet engine award from an airline.
“The relationship between GE and Emirates continues to grow with the recent GE9X commitments,” said Joyce. “The OnPoint solution agreement will allow us to provide comprehensive MRO support along with OEM parts and workscopes to ensure the engines remain in peak operating condition.”
The relationship between Emirates and GE Aviation formed nearly 10 years ago.
