CFM International has solidified agreements with American Airlines, Inc. (American) for the provision of LEAP-1B engines to power the airline’s Boeing 737 MAX 8 and MAX 10 fleet. These agreements encompass the acquisition of spare engines and include a new 20-year service agreement that covers both American’s existing LEAP-1B engines and those for its future fleet of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.
The commitment to CFM’s LEAP-1B engines extends beyond the Boeing 737 MAX family, as American currently operates 303 CFM-powered Boeing 737 Next-Generation aircraft. The decision to continue the partnership with CFM underscores American’s confidence in the asset utilization, performance, and environmental benefits offered by CFM’s engine technology.
