GE Aerospace lifts 2026 forecast on resilient engine-repair demand and GEnx shipments for Boeing 787 ramp; UKEF backs up to $1B

GE Aerospace raised its 2026 profit outlook, citing stronger-than-expected services growth despite aviation-fuel shock and airline schedule cuts. The company said GEnx engine shipments for Boeing’s 787 rose sharply, supporting the planemaker’s production increase, while supply constraints—rather than customer demand—remain a key issue through 2027. GE and UK Export Finance launched a financing framework expected to back up to $1B over five years for engine maintenance at GE overhaul sites in Wales and Scotland.
