With operations in 18 countries and home to two of the company’s wholly owned subsidiary businesses—Avio Aero and Dowty—Europe represents GE Aerospace’s second-largest footprint globally. GE Aerospace’s Commercial and Engine Services in Europe provide comprehensive support and innovative solutions for the aviation industry. This includes the design, manufacturing, and maintenance of advanced jet engines that power a wide range of commercial aircraft. GE Aerospace offers a full suite of services, including engine leasing, on-wing support, and predictive maintenance, leveraging cutting-edge digital tools and analytics to maximize engine performance and minimize downtime.

Our European operations support pioneering technologies and capabilities, positioning us well to support strategic European programs and local commercial airlines. We are deeply embedded in the European ecosystem through collaborative research and development, industrial partnerships, and a locally sourced supply chain. Major commercial customers in the region include Air France KLM, Lufthansa Group, International Airlines Group, Ryanair and easyJet.

GE Aerospace is at the forefront of efforts to create a more competitive and sustainable future for aviation in Europe. We are developing comprehensive sustainability strategies that include new engine architectures, hybrid-electric systems, hydrogen combustion, and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Our latest engines, including the GEnx, CFM LEAP, and GE9X, are 10-15% more fuel-efficient than their predecessors and can already operate on approved SAF blends. GE Aerospace is also leading several CLEAN AVIATION technology demonstrators in the region, such as AMBER (hybrid-electric), HYDEA (hydrogen), and OFELIA (open fan). We advocate for policies across Europe that promote the shift toward net zero through research and innovation, working with organizations like the Renewable and Low-Carbon Fuels (RCLF) Alliance and Airlines for Europe (A4E).
