AerFin has completed the successful sale of a serviceable CFM56-7B engine to a major US-based airline operator. While the buyer remains undisclosed, the deal highlights AerFin's capability to deliver technically robust, service-ready engines, backed by its in-house maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) team and a network of trusted partners.
To prepare the engine for sale, AerFin's MRO team undertook a range of technical procedures. These included a general visual inspection compliant with SP110, modification of the ID plug to adjust thrust rating, and the replacement of various Line Replaceable Units (LRUs). Additionally, a borescope inspection (BSI) was carried out by a third-party specialist, with AerFin overseeing the full process to ensure a smooth handover for the customer.
This transaction reinforces AerFin's reputation for delivering flexible and cost-effective aftermarket solutions, tailored to meet the operational demands of global airlines. The company places strong emphasis on technical rigour, customer service, and rapid turnaround times, enabling clients to maintain fleet readiness and reliability.
Auvinash Narayen, Chief Investment Officer at AerFin, noted that the deal reflects the company's ability to add value swiftly for major operators, while showcasing the high standards maintained by its MRO division. The engine sale is part of AerFin's broader strategy to provide sustainable whole engine solutions and Used Serviceable Material (USM), supporting efficient lifecycle management for airline fleets.
With demand for the CFM56-7B engine platform remaining resilient, AerFin continues to position itself as a key provider of quality, serviceable engines and components to both airlines and MROs across the globe.
