Pratt & Whitney, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, announced today that Jackson Square Aviation (JSA), a global leader in aviation leasing, has selected the GTF engine to power an undisclosed number of Airbus A320neo family aircraft.

"This order underscores continued confidence in the GTF engine as we continue to build on our long-standing relationship with JSA to support the growing fleet of A320neo operators worldwide," said Rick Deurloo, president of Commercial Engines, Pratt & Whitney.  

"GTF engines have been instrumental to our growth strategy for fleet and customer base expansion," said Kevin McDonald, CEO of Jackson Square Aviation. "The unmatched fuel efficiency and noise reduction are a game changer for A320neo operators."

JSA's portfolio currently includes 91 GTF-powered A320neo family aircraft and 11 V2500-powered A320ceos.

The GTF delivers 20% lower fuel consumption and a 75% smaller noise footprint compared to the prior generation of engines. Over 2,800 GTF-powered aircraft are operated globally by more than 90 customers, and the order backlog of over 8,000 GTF engines reflects strong market demand for its proven benefits. The engine's revolutionary geared architecture is the right foundation for next generation technologies.
