May 17, 2021
The engines power three families of aircraft in use by 54 airlines globally
Pratt & Whitney, a division of Raytheon Technologies Corp, recently celebrated the delivery of the 1,000th aircraft powered by GTF engines.
GTF engines power three aircraft families in service today: the Airbus A320neo, Airbus A220 and Embraer E-Jets E2. Powering 54 airlines, GTF engines have saved more than 490 million gallons (1.8 billion liters) of fuel and avoided over 4.7 million tonnes of carbon emissions, while accumulating more than 8.9 million engine flight hours of experience, the company said in a statement.
Due to the engine’s fuel efficiency, these three aircraft families have experienced some of the highest utilisation levels during the pandemic and early recovery period. As an engine of choice for more than 80 customers, it has orders and commitments for over 10,000 engines.

With nearly 5,000 Pratt & Whitney and Collins Aerospace employees in India, parent company Raytheon Technologies (RTX) is donating 1,000 oxygen concentrators through the U.S.-India Strategic Partnership Forum as the country deals with a second wave of Covid-19 cases.
Additionally, teams across RTX are leveraging resources and using supply chains to provide personal protective equipment to employees and local communities in India. It will also match employee donations through May 22 for nonprofits that are supporting Covid-19 relief. RTX added it will continue to look for other ways to support India in this new wave of infections.
“We need a global response to tackle India’s second wave of Covid-19 infections,” said Pratt & Whitney president and head of country Ashmita Sethi. “The aerospace industry has been on the frontlines, with our military and airline customers transporting vaccines, oxygen, and medicines with urgency.”

On 3 May, the official daily death toll was over 3,400 cases. A lack of oxygen supplies is seen as a major challenge for the India’s healthcare system, which is struggling under the weight of the crisis.
The crisis has resulted in an emergency airlift involving both military assets and commercial airliners.
