East Hartford-based aerospace manufacturing company Pratt & Whitney has been selected to provide its geared turbo fan (GTF) engines to power 30 Air Canada aircraft along with its new fleet of Airbus A321 planes.
Pratt & Whitney will also provide Air Canada with engine maintenance through a service agreement.
In 2020, Air Canada became the first airline in Canada to operate the Airbus A220 family and the first in North America to operate A220-300 aircraft. The airline operates 28 A220-300 aircraft with an additional 17 on order.
