GE Aerospace has announced it has entered into a long-term support agreement with Cargolux for the GE9X powering Cargolux’s new fleet of Boeing 777-8 freighters. The newly signed agreement includes a multi-year GE TrueChoice service agreement as well as the order of two spare engines. The contract also includes TrueChoice services extension for Cargolux’s fleet of Boeing 747-8F fleet powered by GEnx-2B engines.
In October 2022, Cargolux revealed plans to replace its ageing 747-400 freighter fleet with an order for 10 Boeing 777-8F aircraft. The GE9X is one of the most powerful aircraft engines in history and the quietest GE Aerospace engine ever produced (pounds of thrust per decibel). The engine also offers the lowest NOx emissions in its class.
