EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — United Technologies’ Pratt & Whitney PW2000 series engine has been selected by United Parcel Service (UPS) to power up to 35 Boeing 757 cargo planes that UPS plans to acquire.
The order for up to 90 installed and spare engines is valued at $400 million to Pratt & Whitney.
The PW2000 series engines will power 20 Boeing 757PF aircraft that UPS has ordered plus 15 additional aircraft on which the carrier has options. Engine deliveries will be made over a six year period starting in 1987.
The UPS order is the second for the PW2000 engine program in two months. In November, Northwest Airlines ordered 20 additional PW2000s to power 10 Boeing 757 jetliners it will begin acquiring in 1987.
