Lufthansa Selects CFM56-5B Engine Ao Power New A320 / A321 Order

Order Totalling $300 Million Takes Lufthansa's CFM56-Powered Fleet To More Than 200 Aircraft

Deutsche Lufthansa has selected the CFM56-5B to power 21 Airbus A320 and two Airbus A321 aircraft in a firm engine order valued at approximately $300 million U.S. at list prices. The companies announced the agreement jointly on Tuesday.

The aircraft will be operated by Lufthansa Airlines and Swiss International and are scheduled for delivery from 2013 through late 2014. The airplane order was previously announced in September 2010.

Lufthansa and Swiss, which are both part of the Lufthansa Aviation Group, currently operate a fleet of 98 CFM-powered Airbus A319/A320/A321 and 41 long-range, four-engine A340-300 aircraft. In addition, Lufthansa operates 63 CFM56-powered Boeing 737 Classics thus totalling some 486 CFM engines in their operational fleets. Including the other Group members Germanwings, British Midland and Austrian, the number of CFM56 engines operated in the Group totals more than 650.

Since it's foundation, Lufthansa has been a driving force behind commercial aviation. In recent years, the airline has been one of the industry's strongest proponents of "green" technology that reduces the impact of aviation on the environment, particularly noise and emissions.
