Spirit Airlines Buys 30 More Airplanes from Airbus

[8vATE]

No, they come with either IAE V2500 or GE CFM-56; the choice is up to the airline. IIRC, the IAE V2500 is the cheaper option.

My previous research had the IAE engine as a more expensive but slightly more fuel efficient albeit lower thrust option than the GE.

And yes, the IAE has a Pratt component... part of the hot section I believe.

Of course prices are always subject to change.

V-2500 major contractors:


Pratt: HP turbine, diffuser, combustor, turbine exhaust cases.

Rolls: HP compressor, gear box.

MTU: LP turbine

JAE: LP compressor, fan cases

This was confirmed by the checkout girl at the CVS in Belleville. She told me she was really excited about her job at Spirit since they were getting 30 more airplanes, she was hoping she could quit her second job at CVS.
