Pratt & Whitney announced at the Farnborough International Airshow in London on July 20 that Jackson Square Aviation (JSA) has selected its 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.
Pratt & Whitney says the GTF delivers 20% lower fuel consumption and a 75% smaller noise footprint compared with prior-generation engines. More than 2,800 GTF-powered aircraft are in service with over 90 customers globally, and the company cites an order backlog of more than 8,000 engines. It describes the geared-architecture design as a foundation for future technologies.
Founded in 2010, JSA is a global aircraft lessor focused on operating leases and targeted financing solutions. Its owned, committed, and managed fleet totals 344 aircraft, serving 64 airlines across 34 countries. The company is part of the Mitsubishi HC Capital group, based in Japan and listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
