FARNBOROUGH, England, July 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GE Aerospace (NYSE: GE) today announced that AerCap Holdings N.V. (“AerCap”) has selected the GEnx-1B engine to power an additional 15 Boeing 787 Dreamliners. <\/p>\n

AerCap, headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, is the world\u2019s largest owner of Boeing 787 aircraft and has a portfolio of approximately 200 GEnx engines owned and on order.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe take great pride in AerCap\u2019s continued confidence in the GEnx engine,\u201d said Mohamed Ali, President & CEO, GE Aerospace Commercial Engines & Service. \u201cWith proven reliability and time on wing, the GEnx is delivering value for customers every day, and we look forward to supporting AerCap with the performance and service necessary for long-term success.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur customers need aircraft and engine platforms that deliver reliable performance, compelling economics, and long-term value,\u201d said Aengus Kelly, Chief Executive Officer, AerCap. \u201cThe GEnx engine has a proven track record in service, and we are pleased to select it for these Boeing 787 aircraft as we continue to invest in assets that support our customers\u2019 evolving fleet requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today, the GEnx boasts a 99.98% dispatch reliability rate and stays on-wing at a rate three times higher than competing engines.<\/p>\n
