Pem-Air today announced an expansion of its engine maintenance capabilities, adding support for the CFM International LEAP engine family through the General Support License Agreement (GSLA) for Overhaul of the LEAP 1A, 1B and 1C engines. Pem-Air Turbine Engine Services will now offer maintenance, repair, overhaul (MRO) and field support services for the LEAP 1A and LEAP 1B engines powering the latest generation of single-aisle aircraft.
This expansion strengthens Pem-Air’s commitment to helping operators enhance reliability, reduce downtime, and optimize life-cycle operating costs. The company’s LEAP capabilities focus on the two primary commercial variants:
LEAP 1A, the exclusive engine option for the Airbus A320neo family LEAP 1B, uniquely designed for the Boeing 737 MAX series and optimized for aerodynamic integration and operational efficiency.
Both variants deliver up to 15% improved fuel efficiency compared to previous-generation engines, supporting airlines’ sustainability and cost-reduction goals. “Expanding into LEAP engine MRO support enables Pem-Air to stand alongside our customers as they transition into the newest generation of high-efficiency turbofan technology,” said Virgil D. Pizer, CEO of Pem-Air. “We are committed to supporting both long-standing and new operators of the LEAP engine family. Adding these capabilities positions Pem-Air to continue delivering customer-first service as fleets evolve and the industry moves toward more sustainable operations.”
Pem-Air currently provides select LEAP engine MRO services and is actively scaling toward broader capability. Offerings include routine and advanced maintenance, targeted repair work, and on-wing support. Pem-Air’s field service teams are available for rapid deployment to address aircraft-on-ground (AOG) events, helping operators restore service quickly and maintain operational continuity.
