GE Aviation has launched its GEnx TRUEngine program on the GEnx-1B engine and granted TRUEngine designation to Air India’s GEnx-1B engine fleet. Air India has ordered GEnx-1B engines for its 27 Boeing 787-8 aircraft. Under a 2010 GE Branded Services Agreement (GBSA), Air India will be licensed to perform maintenance and overhaul work on the GEnx-1B engine, which means the carrier will follow GE-issued engine manuals, service bulletins and other maintenance recommendations.
Qualification for TRUEngine status is a two-step process that includes the customer declaration and a submittal of maintenance records to ensure the overhaul practices, spare parts and repairs used to service an engine are consistent with GE-issued engine manuals, service bulletins and other maintenance recommendations. The TRUEngine designation is available for the more than 1,300 GEnx engines on order.
