SHANGHAI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–China Eastern Airlines (CEA) signed an engine maintenance contract with Pratt & Whitney on Nov. 5, the opening day of the fifth China International Import Expo (CIIE), which is the first civil aviation purchase order inked at this year’s CIIE.

Headquartered in CIIE’s host city Shanghai, CEA participates in the world-class Expo for the fifth consecutive years as a core supporting enterprise, appointed air carrier, purchaser and service provider of CIIE.

The company and well-known suppliers from the US, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Singapore and Hong Kong, etc., have signed 15 deals worth more than $1.6 billion covering new technologies and new services in aviation. Both CEA’s total value of deals and transaction volume this year have surpassed those of last year.
