Engine Alliance Contact Media Relations The Engine Alliance, a 50/50 joint venture between General Electric Aviation and Pratt & Whitney, was established in 1996 to develop, manufacture, sell and support a family of advanced technology engines for new high capacity, long range aircraft. The result is the fuel efficient GP7200 for the Airbus A380. The GP7200 is derived from two of the most successful wide body engines in aviation history - the GE90 and the PW4000. These engines demonstrated industry leading ETOPS reliability from entry into service and have logged over 250 million hours of superior performance. Building on the GE90 core and the PW4000 low spool heritage, the GP7200 is a refined derivative with a responsible infusion of new Exceeding Expectations Since entering service on August 1 2008, the GP7200 has met or exceeded all performance expectations: • Most fuel efficient engine on the A380 • Meets CAEP/6 emissions limits with margin Supported By The Strongest Aftermarket Service Providers On The Planet The Engine Alliance combines the resources of GE Engine Services and Pratt & Whitney Aftermarket Services to offer A380 customers a "Total Business Solution": • Flexible Fleet Management Agreements (FMAs) • Material By the Hour (MBTH) including full repair development • Spare Engine leasing • On-wing support logistics ...all integrated by state of the art e-business customer portals.
