Air France’s fleet includes 70 Boeing 777 and already uses Turbonycoil 600 on all its Airbus A320 & A340 aircraft. “The success of the turbine oil evaluation on some of our Boeing 777 engines shows that the product meets all the GE9O’s operation requirements. This allows us to contemplate a smooth transition on the Boeing fleet comparable to the one experienced on the Airbus fleet. The relationship established between our companies, since the beginning of the project, leads us to believe in a long-term collaboration with NYCO.” Said Didier Verté, Engine Fleets and Engineering Vice President at Air France Industries.
