UTX | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Manufacturer and designer of aircraft engines Pratt & Whitney announced
on Friday that Air France was the first airline to select GP7200

Paris Air Show in 2001.

The Engine Alliance is a 50/50 joint venture of General Electric (NYSE:
GE | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) and Pratt & Whitney, a unit of United Technologies Corp (NYSE: UTX).

Air France will reportedly be the first European airline to operate the
A380 when it enters revenue service in November.

The company said that since entering revenue service in August 2008,
the GP7200 has achieved a departure reliability rating of 99.9% and has
experienced no in-flight shutdowns with five aircraft in operation.

The GP7200 is manufactured at GE and Pratt & Whitney, with GE
assembling the core in Durham, North Carolina, and Pratt & Whitney
manufacturing the fan module, low pressure compressor and low pressure
turbine.

Final engine assembly is conducted at Pratt & Whitney's Engine Centre
in Middletown, Connecticut. GP7000 Engine Programme participants
include SNECMA (France), Techspace Aero (Belgium) and MTU Aero Engines
