Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance (AFI KLM E&M) has taken delivery of its first spare LEAP-1B engine in Amsterdam, marking a key step in its recently signed agreement to acquire up to 10 LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines from CFM International<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

The arrival forms part of the group\u2019s strategy to strengthen its LEAP Premier MRO portfolio and enhance operational continuity for airlines operating LEAP-powered fleets.<\/p>\n

By building a dedicated pool of spare LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines, AFI KLM E&M aims to offer rapid engine replacements, helping customers minimise aircraft downtime while primary engines undergo maintenance or performance restoration work.<\/p>\n

Jean-Louis Forest, senior vice president engines product at AFI KLM E&M, said: \u201cThe arrival of our first spare LEAP-1B engine represents a strategic step forward for AFI KLM E&M and our airline partners.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis investment not only strengthens our commitment to operational excellence but also ensures that we can deliver faster, more reliable support when our customers need it most.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy expanding our LEAP engine portfolio, we\u2019re reaffirming our dedication to innovative, world-class MRO services and the long-term success of airlines worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n

The milestone reflects growing global demand for the fuel-efficient LEAP engine family, which underpins the latest generation of single-aisle aircraft.<\/p>\n

In addition to spare engine support, AFI KLM E&M<\/a> continues to provide quick-turn services, performance restoration and on-wing support as part of its broader LEAP capability offering.<\/p>\n

The expanded spare engine capacity is expected to further improve aircraft availability for operators as the in-service LEAP fleet continues to grow.<\/p>\n
