LE BOURGET - 17 June 2025 - Norwegian Air Shuttle has ordered 11 LEAP-1B spare engines from CFM International, a 50/50 joint company between GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines. These fuel-efficient engines will support Norwegian’s growing fleet of modern Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.
The transaction represents an important step in the long-term fleet strategy of Norwegian, helping to secure the operational resilience of the airline in a cost-efficient manner. Deliveries are scheduled in in the coming years and are tailored to Norwegian’s expected operational requirements. This adds to the two LEAP-1B spare engines that Norwegian currently owns.
The investment is in line with Norwegian’s sustainability strategy, which aims to reduce emissions and improve operational efficiency through the use of modern technology.
“We are pleased to continue our long-standing partnership with CFM. This transaction secures the operational resilience of Norwegian and will maximise our aircraft availability and utilisation,” said Geir Karlsen, CEO of Norwegian.
