“The LEAP engine family is at the forefront of commercial aviation, and we see tremendous long-term opportunity in supporting the growing demand for these engines,” added Michael Sheldon, Partner at Patriot Dynamics. “Establishing this relationship with CFM marks a pivotal milestone for our firm, and we look forward to building on it in the years ahead.”

In the 10 years since LEAP engines entered service, CFM has delivered more than 10,000 engines that have accumulated over 100 million flight hours. CFM continues to upgrade the LEAP fleet with a high-pressure turbine (HPT) durability kit to extend time on wing and a reverse bleed system (RBS). The company is focused on delivering high engine availability through exceptional MRO performance and competitive cost of ownership, with the benefits of aftermarket competition through its open MRO ecosystem.
