The V2500 engine is offered through IAE International Aero Engines AG, a multinational aero engine consortium whose shareholders comprise Pratt & Whitney (UTX), Pratt & Whitney Aero Engines International, Japanese Aero Engines and MTU Aero Engines.

“We are committed to providing our customers cost effective and fuel-efficient aircraft and the V2500 engine will assist us in accomplishing this goal,” said Tony Diaz, president of CIT Commercial Air.          

“We are excited to continue our relationship with CIT and honored they selected our acclaimed V2500 engine to power their A321ceo order,” said Greg Gernhardt, president, Pratt & Whitney Commercial Engines. “The V2500 engine is backed by a philosophy of relentless, continuous improvement that ensures the V2500 engine maintains its position as the most advanced engine available for the current A320ceo aircraft family.”
