Turkish Airlines received CF6 TRUEngine designation

Turkish Airlines has been awarded TRUEngine designation for its CF6 engine fleet, which powers its seven Airbus CF6-80E-powered A330-200 aircraft. “With a TRUEngine designation, Turkish Airlines has demonstrated its commitment to OEM quality engine maintenance,” said Chuck Williams, general manager of the CF6 Program at GE Aviation. To qualify for TRUEngine status, the engine configuration, overhaul practices, spare parts and repairs used to service an engine must be consistent with GE requirements. In addition, all maintenance must comply with GE-issued engine manuals and other maintenance recommendations. The qualification data is obtained through a combination of fleet operations and maintenance records. The TRUEngine designation is available to the 4,000 CF6 engines in service if they meet the fleet criteria.
