“Republic Airways is one of the largest CF34 operators in the world and we are extremely proud that they continue to put their trust in our engines, operating these CF34-8Es day in and day out,” said Kathy MacKenzie, Vice President, GE Commercial Programs, GE Aerospace. “With our expanded services agreement, our mission is that the airline continues to receive the same high-quality MRO service and support that they have come to expect from GE Aerospace.”
