NEWS FLASH
Pratt & Whitney and Croatia Airlines have finalised engine and aftermarket agreements for the GTF engines that will power its fleet of Airbus A220-100 and A220-300 aircraft. As reported by EX-YU Aviation News last week, the first of the new aircraft is currently scheduled for delivery in the second quarter of 2024. Pratt & Whitney will provide engine maintenance for Croatia Airline’ fleet with an EngineWise Maintenance long-term agreement.
Commenting on the deal at the Paris Air Show, Croatia Airlines’ CEO, Jasmin Bajić, said, "This is an exciting time for Croatia Airlines as we modernise our fleet with these GTF-powered A220 aircraft. By replacing prior-generation planes with the most efficient and sustainable engines and aircraft available today, we'll be able to shrink our environmental footprint and keep fares competitive". Rick Deurloo, President of Commercial Engines at Pratt & Whitney, added, “Pratt & Whitney and Croatia Airlines have a longstanding relationship, dating back to the airline's first passenger operations. With this GTF-powered A220 fleet backed by EngineWise services, Croatia Airlines will benefit from industry-leading technology and world-class service and support, with a growing GTF MRO network, including facilities like Air France Industries, KLM Engineering & Maintenance, EME Aero and Lufthansa Technik in the heart of Europe".
Why are they holding a a320 model on the picture?
ReplyDeleteIs this picture from the NEO order?
They don't have an A220 in OU colours yet :D
DeleteIf the picture was taken this week I'm lost for words
DeleteThe photo was provided with the press release issued yesterday evening.
DeleteThat's actually tragic
DeleteJasmin had a quite frozen smile... He knows ...
Delete@10.35
DeleteI am lost for words for past 20 years. Actually I am saying a lot, but basically you said in two words everything I was saying, and writing, and elaborating, and claiming, and proving : the level of their ignorance simply leaves you speechless....
@Pozdrav
DeleteI know it looks bad. But I will just hope its good for OU.
I just found out that air bulgsria has exact same fleet plan as OU.
They doing the same thing.
I just hope for the success of the slavic nations and airlines
Future is so bright he's wearing sunglasses.

DeleteBravo Hrvatska!
ReplyDeletePratt is experiencing extended turnaround times with engine reconditioning. Croatia đź‡đź‡· may not be too impressed with the EngineWise program. DL has a license to rebuild the GTF engine. Maybe it will have a few spares engines to help with the bottleneck…..at a premium!
ReplyDelete"Will be able to keep fares competitive" LOL, in which parallel Universe?
ReplyDeleteMy comment was deleted yesterday, but I'll repeat it again, why has OU signed a long term agreement with De Havilland for components and servicing if they are phasing out their Q400's?
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why is that a surprise. The Q400s won't leave over night. They will start retiring them next year but the planes will probably be in the fleet for another 2 years. They will first start retiring A319 and A320s which are 20 years old.

DeleteHaha, Jasminee nije jedini komedijas na slici.
DeleteS U-H?
DeleteThats the engine type, which is causing so much trouble, for example at LX. Several A220 of LX are grounded.
