Dubai-based Emirates became the first airline to operate an Airbus A380, the world’s largest passenger airliner, on 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in one engine. The aircraft, which is powered by four Engine Alliance GP7200 engines, used 100% SAF in one of its four engines, another milestone in the industry’s growing momentum to bring standardization, certification, and adoption of 100% SAF closer to reality.

The GE9X engine has emerged as GE Aerospace’s most advanced commercial engine to date. As the largest and most powerful certified commercial aircraft engine, the GE9X incorporates advanced technologies that enable more efficient, quieter flight with fewer emissions than earlier engines.

Strengthening connections with key aviation players, GE Aerospace joined exhibitors from 95 countries at the Dubai Airshow, announcing significant orders for both widebody and narrowbody engines. Here are the GE Aerospace headlines and news from the 2023 Dubai Airshow.

Milestone moment: Emirates this week flew the first demonstration flight in the Middle East using 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in one of the two engines. The successful demonstration using a GE90-powered Boeing 777 helps show the compatibility of 100% drop-in SAF with existing aviation equipment.

Emirates will expand the digital capabilities of its fleet of Boeing 777 and Airbus A380 aircraft with FlightPulse and a GE Aviation platform called electronic Flight Operations Quality Assurance (eFOQA).
