IAE International Aero Engines (IAE) have announced that the V2500 engine has surpassed 300 million engine flight hours of operational experience.

Powering approximately 2,800 aircraft and serving more than 150 operators, the V2500 engine operates passenger, cargo, and military missions around the world.

The engine currently powers the Airbus A320ceo family, including A321F passenger-to-cargo conversions, as well as the Embraer C-390 Millennium multi-mission military transport aircraft.

IAE is a multinational consortium comprised of Pratt & Whitney, Pratt & Whitney Aero Engines International, Japanese Aero Engines Corporation, and MTU Aero Engines.

Kelly Horan, president of IAE, said: “The V2500 is a mainstay of the industry, and this latest milestone of 300 million flight hours is evidence of the engine’s legacy of reliability and performance.

“With an average age of 15 years, the V2500 engine is in the prime of its life – and we continue to offer customised solutions to meet our customers’ needs.”

Demonstrating its durability and robustness, the current high-time V2500 engine, on its first run, was recently removed for service. The engine achieved more than 43,000 hours since first installed in April 2013.

The V2500 engine is backed by 13 established facilities around the world that provide MRO services, including eight IAE party company facilities.

The announcement was made during the MRO Americas 2025 event in Atlanta.
