what happened
General Electric's aerospace unit, GE Aerospace, said on Friday that its contracts signed at the China International Import Expo total more than $12.9 billion, the largest signing value it has recorded at the annual event, Reuters reported.
The biggest agreement is with China Eastern Airlines, which will buy 202 LEAP-1A engines for 101 newly ordered Airbus A320neo-family jets. The deal also covers spare engines and long-term servicing. A separate contract adds 14 spare LEAP-1A, LEAP-1C and CFM56-7B engines. China Eastern had not commented publicly at the time of the announcement.
GE Aerospace also agreed supply and repair terms with MTU Maintenance Zhuhai, a joint venture of China Southern Air Holding and Germany's MTU Aero Engines.
why it matters
For investors, the mix matters: long-term servicing typically brings more predictable revenue than one-off engine sales. China remains a key market for jet engine makers, so deals of this size can support sentiment toward GE Aerospace and MTU Aero Engines.
market impact
GE Aerospace and MTU Aero Engines: large Chinese contracts and servicing strengthen the order backlog.
- GE Aerospace shares pressure up — record contract volume expands the order backlog and future servicing revenue
- MTU Aero Engines shares pressure up — supply and repair work through the Zhuhai joint venture adds orders
