US Airways Group Inc. has signed signed a long-term maintenance agreement with IAE International Aero Engines.
The contract covers engines used on the airline’s fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft.

“The V2500 offers significant advantages in terms of fuel burn and lowest total emissions, and IAE’s comprehensive support package will ensure that we can maximize the associated benefits,†says Hal Heule, US Airways’ senior vice president of technical operations.
