The CF6-80A was developed by General Electric to power the B767 and A310 model aircraft. Developed as an advanced model of the CF6 series of engines in the late 1970’s, it powered these two twinjets and has a thrust rating of 48,000-55,000 pounds of thrust. This engine entered service in the early 1980’s and was rated for ETOPS operations. The CF6-80A still powers a segment of the widebody B767 and A310 fleets still in operation today. CTS Engines remains one of the only MROs to support this legacy engine type and we proudly maintain these engines for multiple customers.
