The 10-year 'OnPointSM solution agreement' would cover the new CF6-80E engines that would power the nine A-330s, the airline said in a statement today, adding that the agreement was valued at USD 150 million.
The private carrier already has a similar agreement to maintain, repair and overhaul same engines fitted in ten A 330-200 planes Jet already operates, it said.
"GE's OnPoint solution agreement is a comprehensive engine maintenance solution that maintains our engines to ensure the superior operational reliability for which Jet Airways is highly regarded," Jet CEO Nikos Kardassis was quoted as saying.
GE Vice President (South Asia) Nalin Jain said his company was "honoured by the continuing faith reposed in us by Jet Airways in selecting GE as the engine of choice for their Airbus A330 aircraft."
Jet Airways and its low cost brand, JetKonnect, operate a modern jet fleet of GE90-powered Boeing 777-300ER, CFM56- powered Boeing 737 Next Generation and CF6-powered Airbus A330.
