A multi-year non-exclusive services agreement was inked by Egyptair subsidiary Air Cairo and CFM International to cover the shop visits of 28 LEAP engines that power the airline’s 14 Airbus A320neo aircraft. When Air Cairo initially ordered CFM56-5B engines in 2005 to power six A320ceo family aircraft, the airline became a CFM customer. Eight of these aircraft are currently in service with the airline.
“Expanding our relationship with CFM is a key milestone of our development strategy,” said Hussein Sherif Fahmi, Chairman & CEO, Air Cairo. “This agreement reflects our commitment to innovation, customer satisfaction, and sustainable air travel through the efficiency of the LEAP engine,” he further added.
