GE Aerospace Eyes More China Engine Orders as 200-Jet Boeing Proposal Reopens Sales

2 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 7

Summary

  • GE Aerospace said it expects more aircraft-engine orders from China after last month’s Trump-Xi meeting in Beijing helped restart commercial aircraft sales.
  • Larry Culp told Bloomberg TV that a Chinese proposal to buy 200 Boeing jets marked an important first step, with Boeing already bringing home an initial batch of commitments.
  • The potential orders matter because GE supplies engines tied to Boeing aircraft, making any reopening of Chinese jet purchases a direct sales opportunity for the company.
  • The comments signal GE sees improving U.S.-China aviation trade prospects, though the company pointed only to early commitments rather than finalized new engine deals.
