GE Aerospace’s CFM International joint venture delivered 41% more LEAP engines in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.

This production acceleration targets the world's most in-demand narrowbody aircraft. The increase directly addresses a persistent supply chain bottleneck for Boeing’s 737 MAX and the Airbus A320neo family.

Both manufacturers rely on these engine deliveries to clear multi-year backlogs and meet ambitious production targets. Steadier engine supplies enable the delivery of new, fuel-efficient aircraft to global airlines.
