LEAP-1A/-1B: Powering the Airbus A320neo and the Boeing 737 MAX

The LEAP engine family from CFM International—a consortium comprising GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines—includes three different models covering a thrust range from 23,000 to 35,000 pounds. Among the aircraft they power are the Airbus A320neo and the Boeing 737 MAX. Some 7,000 LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines have been delivered to date, and a further 20,000 orders and commitments to buy have been received. 
 

MTU’s involvement in LEAP

Maintenance of the LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B models is performed by MTU Maintenance Zhuhai. This site offers short-notice service slots and short turnaround times at competitive prices, which affords airlines the planning flexibility they need in today’s market situation. The Zhuhai location has EASA, FAA, CAAC, and other certifications for this engine model and is ideally positioned at one of Asia’s major hubs.

In addition, through MTU Maintenance Lease Services B.V. in Amsterdam, MTU offers a range of engine leasing options.
