Boeing and Ghana signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the airplanes with a current list price of $877.5 million, to re-launch a national airline.
"GE Aviation is honoured to provide GEnx engines for the new 787 Dreamliners that Ghana will acquire to re-launch a national carrier," said Mahendra Nair, general manager of the GEnx programme.
"The GEnx engine has proven itself with the highest reliability and utilisation rates that benefit our customers, and we look forward to working with Ghana as the country progresses on its strategy to re-enter the aviation industry."
The engine celebrated its 15th anniversary since its launch and marked the assembly of its 2,000th engine.
With the most advanced technologies and materials, the GEnx has the highest reliability and utilisation, lowest fuel burn and longest range capable of any engine available on the B787 aircraft.
The highest pressure ratio compressor in commercial service today enables the best fuel efficiency in its thrust class, resulting in the GEnx engine powering the longest B787 routes, such as Qantas' B787-9 record-breaking non-stop flight from New York to Sydney last month.
