Service Agreement For CFM LEAP Engines And Components

StandardAero announced the signing of a 15-year agreement with a major Middle East airline for aftermarket MRO services on its CFM LEAP turbofan engines, including both the engines as well as components, LEAP performance restoration shop visits, and ongoing time engine maintenance services for the airline’s fleet of new-gen narrowbody aircraft.

StandardAero supports the LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines used in the Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, respectively. This is in keeping with its entry into the first non-airline CFM Branded Service Agreement in the Americas for those engines in 2023.

The company’s 810,000 square foot facility in San Antonio, Texas, began accepting LEAP shop visits for light work projects in 2024. It completed test cell correlation for both engine variants and inducted its first LEAP performance restoration shop visits in the second half of 2024.

Will Pitcher, Senior Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Customers said, “This latest LEAP engine support agreement highlights the maturity of StandardAero’s San Antonio Premier MRO facility, our team there having performed exceptionally in industrializing a full scope of LEAP capabilities ahead of schedule since joining the LEAP MRO ecosystem in March 2023.

“We look forward to continuing to grow our LEAP customer base throughout 2025, as more and more A320neo and 737 MAX operators turn to StandardAero for reliable engine support.”

StandardAero now provides services to a range of airlines and asset managers in North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, South Asia, and Asia Pacific. The company offers engine repair and overhaul, component repair, workscoping/forecasting, engine testing, program management, lease engine support and module swaps under StandardAero’s Total Engine Asset Management (TEAM) services portfolio.
