With demand for narrow-body aircraft continuing to surge, Delta TechOps has expanded its CFM International LEAP engine portfolio, becoming the first and only North American airline maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) provider licensed to support both the CFM LEAP-1A and CFM LEAP-1B engines.
The addition of full overhaul capability for CFM LEAP-1A engines further strengthens Delta TechOps’ position as a global leader in next-generation engine maintenance for the world’s most advanced narrowbody fleets. Delta TechOps is among a select group of CFM Premier MRO providers for the LEAP engine family — a distinction reflecting CFM’s confidence in TechOps’ technical depth and consistent performance. Delta TechOps was named a CFM Premier MRO provider for LEAP-1B engines in 2022, becoming the first North American MRO to earn the designation. As part of this elite global network, Delta delivers high-quality solutions built on the precision, consistency and operational rigour required for the industry’s most advanced narrow-body engines.
“As the LEAP fleet grows, operators need more options and Delta is ready to help meet that demand with capability across both LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines,” said Marc Meredith, Chief Commercial Officer for Delta TechOps. “Delta technicians are the best in the business. The unmatched care they show for our airplanes is exactly what our customers can expect — quality and performance operators need to keep aircraft flying.”
CFM LEAP engines power the Airbus A320neo family (LEAP-1A) and serve as the exclusive powerplant for the Boeing 737 MAX 10 (LEAP-1B), for which Delta has ordered 100 aircraft, with deliveries set to begin once the model receives certification.
