Nippon Cargo Airlines (NCA) has signed a six-year extension of its rate-per-flight-hour engine services agreement that covers the airline's GEnx-2B engines on its Boeing 747-8 freighter fleet.
“The rate-per-flight-hour engine services agreement between NCA and GE strengthens our partnership and will ensure our GEnx engines are covered into the new decade,” said Toshiaki Kobori, Managing Director of Engineering & Maintenance at NCA.
NCA and GE have a long-standing relationship that began with the CF6 engine. Today, NCA operates an extensive fleet of aircraft powered by GE's CF6 and GEnx.
The rate-per-flight-hour engine services offerings incorporates an array of GE capabilities and customisation across an engine's lifecycle. Each rate-per-flight-hour engine services offering is underpinned by GE's data and analytic capabilities and experience to help reduce maintenance burden and service disruptions for customers.
