Russian firm Klimov may know a thing or two about designing aero engines, but the crowds on its stand yesterday weren’t there to see turbines or intakes.

Shortages of cast metallic parts and other components continue hindering Pratt & Whitney’s (P&W) ability to produce new engines and to ramp up maintenance work needed to address its recall of PW1000G geared turbofans.

Taiwanese carrier EVA Air has chosen GE Aerospace GEnx engines to power four incoming Boeing 787-10 widebodies.
