CFM and Air France Industries KLM E&M Expand LEAP Open MRO Network

Our Bureau - : Oct 22, 2022 - : 2:10 am

Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance has signed a CFM Branded Service Agreement (CBSA) for LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines.

Under the terms of the CBSA, AFI KLM E&M will provide the full scope of LEAP Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) services for operators worldwide.

“CFM is proud to have AFI KLM E&M join the LEAP MRO team,” said François Planaud, Executive Vice President Support and Services, for CFM parent company Safran Aircraft Engines. “The addition of such a major, reputable provider greatly enhances and strengthens our open MRO network. With its vast experience on engines such as the CFM56, GE90 and GEnx product lines, its innovative capabilities, and its ongoing focus on designing new solutions, AFI KLM E&M will undoubtedly make significant contributions to the continued development of world-class support for the LEAP engine, throughout its life.”

Air France KLM’s choice to purchase 200 LEAP-1A engines to power its new fleet of Airbus A320neo and A321neo aircraft earlier in the year will also contribute to strengthening the company’s expertise in LEAP services.

“We have a decades-long relationship with AFI KLM E&M and we are grateful to build on that partnership,” said Tom Levin, vice president, After Market Strategic Solutions, for CFM International parent company GE Aerospace. “AFI KLM E&M is already providing LEAP quick-turn services today, so they can immediately provide customers with a competitive solution as the demand for LEAP engine maintenance ramps significantly over the coming years.”
