Pem-Air has announced an expansion of its engine maintenance capabilities, adding support for the CFM International LEAP-engine family under a General Support Licence Agreement (GSLA) for the overhaul of LEAP-1A, LEAP-1B and LEAP-1C engines. Pem-Air Turbine Engine Services will now provide maintenance, repair, overhaul (MRO) and field support services for the LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines that power the latest-generation of single-aisle aircraft.
This expansion reinforces Pem-Air’s commitment to helping operators improve reliability, minimise downtime and optimise life-cycle operating costs. The company’s LEAP capabilities are centred on the two primary commercial variants.
The LEAP-1A, the exclusive engine option for the Airbus A320neo family, is already supported by Pem-Air through selected MRO services, with capabilities actively being scaled towards a broader offering. Services include routine and advanced maintenance, targeted repair work and comprehensive on-wing support. Pem-Air’s field service teams are available for rapid deployment to respond to aircraft-on-ground (AOG) events, enabling operators to return aircraft to service quickly and maintain operational continuity.
The LEAP-1B, developed exclusively for the Boeing 737 MAX series, is optimised for aerodynamic integration and operational efficiency. Together, both engine variants deliver up to 15% improved fuel efficiency compared with previous-generation engines, directly supporting airlines’ sustainability objectives and cost-reduction strategies.
