American Airlines MRO sets CF6-80C2 time on wing record
American Airlines has set a time on wing record for a GE CF6-80C2 engine - logging more than 40,000 flight hours and nearly 10 years of continuous on-wing operation on a Boeing 767 aircraft. This is equivalent to making 2,000 round trips from Dallas, Texas, to London, England, without ever removing the CF6-80C2 engine from the wing of the aircraft.
As part of Israel Aerospace Industries BEDEK Aviation Group, we would like to congratulate American Airlines MRO for the record CF6-80C2 time on wing IAI's BEDEK Aviation group, is one of the world's largest independent one-stop Full Service Provider maintenance centers, is a world class of freighters comprehensive maintenance services, aircraft modifications/upgrades passenger to cargo B737-300, B767-200, B747-400 conversions, and soon B737-400 and B767-300 conversions.
