Pratt & Whitney, a business of Raytheon Technologies (RTX), has announced that Viva Aerobus has chosen GTF engines to power an additional 90 Airbus A321neo firm aircraft orders. This comes after the airline had previously placed orders for 65 GTF-powered A320neo family aircraft, bringing their total commitment to 155 aircraft with GTF engines. In addition, Pratt & Whitney and Viva Aerobus have extended their EngineWise Maintenance long-term agreement to cover the maintenance needs of the entire GTF-powered fleet.
Viva Aerobus, headquartered in Monterrey, Mexico, was established in 2006. The airline currently operates a fleet of 31 V2500-powered A320ceo family aircraft and 43 GTF-powered A320neo family aircraft. The first A320neo was received in 2016, followed by the first A321neo in 2020.
