CFM grows its LEAP aftermarket network:
11 April,2019:The LEAP engine programme was launched more than ten years ago and CFM is dedicated developing internal capability through CFM Services, as well as collaborating with its partners to expand third-party MRO capability to support the industry's fastest-growing fleet.
The LEAP service model is created on the CFM56 model, which has the most open MRO environment in the industry. There are over 40 shops including third-party providers, along with CFM parent companies Safran Aircraft Engines and GE Aviation who are currently performing CFM56 engine overhauls, resulting in about two-thirds of the worldwide shop visits being completed by non-CFM shops.
If there are similar choice of MRO providers for the LEAP engine, aircraft operators and owners get the benefit of competition: lower maintenance cost over the engine life cycle; a broader range of services; and higher residual values.
There are currently four CFM internal overhaul sites on line for the LEAP fleet and that will increase to a total of six locations by the end of 2019, including Queretaro, Mexico; Lafayette, Indiana; Celma, Brazil; Saint Quentin-en-Yvelines, near Paris, France; Brussels Belgium; and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Lufthansa Technik became the first CFM Branded Service Agreement (CBSA) licensee for the LEAP-1A engine in February 2018. According to the agreement, commercial and technical support will be provided to Lufthansa Technik so it can offer CFM solutions to maintain the LEAP installed base to the highest standards
