Israel Aerospace Industries will increase its Leap capabilities next year following recent approval for the 1A and 1B variants to start quick-turn services.
As the strike at Boeing is impacting the airframer’s supply chain, Safran is taking action to protect its own suppliers, Safran CEO Olivier Andries said.
TAP M&E has gained certification from regulators to service the Leap 1A engine at its Lisbon facility and plans to open engine MRO slots to the market for 2025.
Installations of systems designed to prevent fuel nozzle coking on CFM International Leap 1A engines are ramping up, a senior GE Aerospace official says.
Early engine removals, shop capacity, new tech and the role of alternative parts and repairs were discussed at Aviation Week’s Aero-Engines Europe conference.
ST Engineering has finalized a 15-year deal with Akasa Air, providing engine MRO services for the airline’s Leap 1B-powered Boeing 737 MAX-family aircraft.
A 2022 CFM Leap-1A in-flight engine shutdown traced to non-conforming parts has prompted the FAA to plan mandatory replacements of the affected components.
Factors such as new engine durability issues and extended lead times for engine parts are presenting challenges for MRO giant Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance.
An engine choice for a 737 successor may be years away, but Boeing is showing signs of preferring ducted engines to the outwardly more efficient open fan.
Safran CEO Olivier Andries has blamed delays in CFM Leap 1A engine deliveries to Airbus on a drop in output at a high-pressure turbine (HPT) blade supplier.
Perhaps it is a good sign that Howmet is raising its baseline expectations of 737 shipsets to Boeing by 10% coming out of the Farnborough International Airshow.
