Etihad Airways has selected GE Aviation, Rolls-Royce, Engine Alliance and International Aero Engines (IAE) to power the new Airbus and Boeing aircraft that it ordered at last year's Farnborough International Airshow. The carrier announced firm orders yesterday at the Paris Air Show for: 78 GEnx engines, 45 Engine Alliance GP7200 engines, 44 IAE V2500 engines, 50 Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines, and 22 GE90 engines. The firm orders for 239 engines, which include 19 spares, are worth US $7bn at list prices, including maintenance contracts. If all options and purchase rights are exercised, the total number of engines will be 469, at a list price value of US $14bn, including maintenance contracts. This represents the largest engine order in commercial aviation history.
