CF34 Production Hits 500 Engines in 2007

(Memphis, Ohio, May 24, 2007) -- GE expects to deliver 500 CF34 engines to its regional jet customers in 2007, marking a record production number for this engine family. Since 2002, orders for the CF34 engines have maintained a steady rate of about 450 engines ordered per year, and GE anticipates this will continue in 2007.

"With 3,600 engines in service and more than 37 million total engine flight hours, the CF34 engines has a proven track record for reliability and performance," said Chuck Nugent, general manager of the CF34 Program. "The introduction of the CF34-10E engine in 2005 has been well received by customers and has enabled us to maintain a steady order book for the last five years."
