CFM International has signed agreements with Lufthansa Technik and AFI KLM E&M to provide maintenance and overhaul support for the company’s advanced LEAP engine product line. CFM has long-standing relationships with both companies on the CFM56 family, and has granted licenses for them to develop MRO services offerings to provide both on-wing and on-site support, as well as engine overhaul for LEAP. CFM has three of its own shops with LEAP capability to support the engine’s entry into commercial service: Lafayette, Indiana in the U.S., which can support both the LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B; Brussels, Belgium, which has capability for the LEAP-1A; and Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, France, which will support the LEAP-1B. The company has also established worldwide On-Site Support (OSS) capabilities to provide customers with extended on-wing support. These facilities can also perform lighter MRO workscopes. The new third-party shops will provide additional LEAP- 1A and -1B capacity as they come online over the next couple of years.
