The aviation industry made its long-awaited return to the Paris Air Show this week, the first since 2019. An impressive display of commercial, military, and business and general aviation aircraft lined the side of the Le Bourget Airport runway, many with GE Aerospace technology onboard.

Air India, part of Tata Sons, has signed a firm order for 40 GEnx-1B and 20 GE9X engines, plus a multi-year TrueChoice™ engine services agreement. The deal was signed in coordination with the airline’s firm order for 20 Boeing 787 and 10 Boeing 777X aircraft.

India’s IndiGo airline will use the fuel-efficient LEAP-1A engines from CFM International to power its fleet of 310 new Airbus A320neo, A321neo and A321XLR aircraft. The agreement, the largest in CFM’s history, includes 620 new installed engines and associated spare engines, as well as a multi-year service agreement.

Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has selected CFM International LEAP-1A engines to power 35 additional A320neo family aircraft. The order, which includes eight spare engines and a Rate Per Flight Hour (RPFH) support agreement, is valued at $2.9 billion U.S. at list price.

GE Aviation's Lafayette manufacturing facility celebrates its 5 year anniversary.

CFM International has been voted the highest-rated OEM customer service company in the third annual Air Transport Aftermarket Customer Satisfaction Survey. The survey was conducted between mid-February and mid-May 2020 and elicited 185 responses, including 62 airlines around the world.

This month, Middle River Aircraft Systems celebrates 20 years with GE, and the facility’s future never looked brighter.

Airbus today announced that the A320neo powered by CFM International’s LEAP-1A engine has received Type Certification from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), paving the way for delivery of the first A320neo equipped with the LEAP engine in mid-2016.

LEAP Year may come around every four years, but advanced technology like the LEAP engine only comes around once in a generation!

The biennial Singapore Airshow is underway, and sales of GE Aviation and CFM engines and services are heating up.
