Air China and Pratt & Whitney set milestone for operation of engine model

Air China’s Boeing 777 fleet powered by PW4000 engines has surpassed 550,000 hours, or the entire operational span of the Air China Boeing 777 fleet, without an in-flight shut-down setting a new standard for operational excellence for the carrier’s PW4000 112″ engines. As a whole, PW4000-112″ engines have accumulated more than 10 million hours of flight time on 14 airline fleets, including Air China. Air China installed PW4077D engines on its Boeing 777-200 aircraft in 1998.
