Uzbekistan Airways selects GEnx engines for Boeing 787 Dreamliners

Uzbekistan Airways has selected GEnx-1B engines to power four new Boeing 787-8 aircraft. The engine order is valued at more than US$230m, including a custom-ordered spare engine. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2018. GE awarded Uzbekistan Airways its TRUEngine designation for the entire GEnx fleet. The companies also agreed to promptly enter discussions to execute a mutually agreed TrueChoice agreement for the GEnx-1B engines. In 2016, Uzbekistan Airways accepted delivery of Central Asia’s first Boeing 787 Dreamliner powered by GEnx-1B engines. The aircraft was the first passenger airliner based in Uzbekistan to be equipped with GE Aviation engines.
