BOC Aviation Limited has confirmed an order for up to 220 Pratt & Whitney GTF engines to power up to 110 Airbus A320neo family aircraft, according to a press release issued at the Farnborough International Airshow.
Pratt & Whitney is a business unit of RTX (NYSE: RTX). The order, described by BOC Aviation as the largest it has placed with Pratt & Whitney, was originally signed and recorded as an undisclosed deal in June 2025.

The company reports more than 2,800 GTF-powered aircraft are operated by over 90 customers globally, with a backlog of more than 8,000 GTF engines.
