Korean Air selected Pratt & Whitney’s PW4170 Advantage70 engine to power five new Airbus A330 aircraft. The agreement, valued at approximately $200m, represents 10 firm PW4170 engines.
Pratt & Whitney offers the Advantage70 both as a new engine and as an upgrade kit for existing PW4168 engines. The upgrade includes a suite of technology enhancements that can be incorporated into a fleet during engine overhaul. Advantage70 technology delivers superior engine performance, including a 2 percent thrust increase, more than 1 percent reduction in fuel consumption, increased durability, and reduced maintenance costs.
