CF34 Fleet Surpasses 50 M Flight-Hours Powering Regional Jets

(Evendale, Ohio, November 24, 2008) -- n just 16 years, GE Aviation's CF34 engines for regional jets have surpassed 50 million hours - a figure reflecting the growing significance to GE of this relatively
new commercial aviation segment.

GE helped to usher in the era of modern regional-jet travel in 1992, when the first CF34-powered Bombardier CRJ100 entered revenue service. Today, more than 4,200 CF34 engines power 50- to 120-seat aircraft
models produced by Bombardier of Canada and EMBRAER of Brazil.
