StandardAero has recently expanded its CFM International LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B service offering to include lease engines. StandardAero has partnered with some of the world’s leading engine leasing companies to support the needs of Airbus A320neo (LEAP-1A) and Boeing 737 MAX (LEAP-1B) customers worldwide. Engines have already been contracted and are available to support the global LEAP operator community through short-term leases, helping them avoid unwanted aircraft downtime and maximize asset utilization during LEAP MRO events.
StandardAero supports the LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B as a CFM LEAP Premier MRO provider, having signed the first non-airline CFM Branded Service Agreement (CBSA) in the Americas for the LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B in March 2023. The company’s 810,000 sq. ft. San Antonio facility provides both LEAP quick-turn shop visit (QTSV) and LEAP performance restoration shop visit (PRSV) services, supported by test cells which have been correlated for both engine variants.
“StandardAero is pleased to partner with some of the industry’s foremost engine leasing providers to expand our Total Engine Asset Management (TEAM) service offering for the global LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B customer base,” said Commenting on the announcement for StandardAero, Will Pitcher, senior vice president – sales, marketing and customers. “By facilitating the availability of lease engines during MRO shop visits, StandardAero is able to help customers maximize the operational availability of their aircraft, thereby minimizing the overall cost impact associated with maintenance events.”
