Pratt & Whitney Wins 2nd Airline Engine Bid

Pratt & Whitney has won a $130-million order to supply engines for an Australian aviation firm, the company announced today.

The engines will power 10 Boeing 757 aircraft on order by Ansett Worldwide Aviation Services. Pratt & Whitney said it will supply 20 engines and three spares. The order comes on the heels of a $900-million award last week to supply engines to Singapore Airlines, a deal that could grow to $2.2 billion if the airline exercises options to buy more engines.
