[AviatorsWorldwide]

Pratt & Whitney reached a milestone this week with its Airbus A220-specific GTF (geared turbofan) engines reaching the one million flight hour milestone. First entering service in 2016 as the Bombardier CSeries, the A220 has become a fast-rising star in the world of low-demand, short and medium-haul operations.

For the sake of comparison, General Electric’s GE90-115B achieved one million flight hours in 2007, after entering service in 2004.

well, so was the 77W back then. Also the fact it’s smaller should make it more popular, shouldn’t it?
