EVA Airways has confirmed an order for five GE90-115B-powered Boeing 777 Freighter and signed a 12-year OnPoint solution agreement for the maintenance, repair and overhaul that covers these GE90 engines. The engine order and OnPoint solution agreement are valued at more than $750 million list price over the life of the agreement. Aircraft delivery will begin in 2017.
“We are so pleased to see EVA expand its fleet with GE90-115B-powered-B777 freighters,” said Chaker Chahrour, vice president & general manager of Global Sales & Marketing at GE Aviation. “We have delivered more than 2,000 GE90 engines to 70 operators around the world. This engine/aircraft combination has proved its performance and reliability as the most successful long-range widebody in service today.”

Backed by GE's global support network, OnPoint services may include overhaul, on wing support, new and used-serviceable parts, component repair, technology upgrades, engine leasing, integrated systems support and diagnostics and integrated systems.
