Авиакомпания распродает пулл двигателей General Electric CF34-10E6 engines так как сворачивает эксплуатацию Embraer E190 в пользу А220, говориться в
JetBlue Airways has sold nearly two dozen General Electric CF34-10E6 engines to aftermarket players this week as it accelerates its Embraer E190 retirement program in favor of Airbus A220s.

On Aug. 5, Werner Aero acquired a dozen CF34-10E6 engines and the E190-100 airframes they powered from JetBlue. Meanwhile, Dallas-based engine lessor BeauTech Power Systems has acquired 11 General Electric CF34-10E6 engines from JetBlue, further expanding its lease pool of the narrow body powerplant as demand for regional engine availability intensifies.

These surplus engine sales reflect a broader shift among operators seeking to monetize aging assets while maintaining aftermarket support for legacy fleets still in service globally.

For BeauTech, the acquisition aims to meet rising demand for short-term engine leasing as E190 operators face extended shop visit turnaround times and constrained MRO capacity. The CF34-10E6 engine has seen increased utilization in secondary markets, particularly among carriers extending aircraft life cycles due to delayed fleet replacements.


BeauTech’s portfolio expansion is expected to support bridging strategies for airlines and MROs managing unscheduled removals and deferred maintenance. The company has positioned itself as a key supplier of CF34-10 assets, with a focus on rapid deployment and flexible lease terms.

Werner Aero President and CEO Tony Kondo told Aviation Week Network in June that the company intended to purchase more E-Jets this year as it grows investment in narrow bodies and regional jets. It is working with teardown specialists such as Ascent Aviation Services, Air Salvage International and ecube to disassemble assets and repair parts.

JetBlue’s vice president of strategic sourcing and fleet, Dmitry Kopylov, said the BeauTech transaction aligns with the carrier’s fleet transition strategy. “As we continue modernizing our fleet, transactions like this allow us to unlock value from our E190 assets, while supporting their continued use in the global market,” he said.

Industry analysts note that the CF34-10 aftermarket remains active despite the E190’s gradual exit from frontline fleets. Operators in Latin America, Africa and parts of Europe continue to rely on the type, driving demand for spare engines and modular support.

The BeauTech deal also highlights the role of independent lessors in filling gaps left by OEM constraints. With GE Aerospace prioritizing newer platforms, third-party providers like BeauTech are increasingly relied upon to maintain engine availability and reduce aircraft-on-ground exposure.

From an MRO perspective, the transaction is timely. CF34-10 shop visits appear to be rising as operators seek to extend E190 service life amid delayed fleet replacements. BeauTech and Werner Aero’s expanded pools offer a buffer against long turnaround times and parts shortages, particularly for operators in regions with limited engine overhaul capacity.
