The company claims that its Advantage70 technology delivers superior engine performance, including a 2% thrust increase, a 1% reduction in fuel consumption, increased durability, and reduced maintenance costs. The first PW4170 Advantage70 engines for the A330-200 are scheduled to enter service with Air Comet next month.
