TAROM, CFM mark 1 million CFM56 flight hour milestone

CFM International and Romanian flag carrier TAROM celebrated the achievement of one million flight hours and half a million flight cycles by the airline’s fleet of CFM56 engines. TAROM has been a CFM customer for 20 years and currently operates a fleet of 13 CFM56-powered aircraft, including Airbus A318s and Boeing 737 Classic and Next-Generation aircraft. Introducing CFM56 engines into its fleet beginning in 1993 has given TAROM significantly improved engine reliability compared to its previous fleet, while also reducing its maintenance costs.
