ST Engineering’s commercial aerospace business has deepened its support for Safran Aircraft Engines by entering a two-year agreement with the option for an extension, to provide module repair offload support for the CFM LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines. “We will continue to ramp up our LEAP engine capabilities and look forward to providing even greater support to Safran Aircraft Engines and airlines so that they can maximise their operations,” said Tay Eng Guan, SVP/Head, engine services at ST Engineering. Under the agreement, Safran Aircraft Engines will offload module repair work on the high-pressure turbine (HPT) rotor assembly and stage 2 HPT nozzle assembly of the LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines to ST Engineering. “The LEAP fleet has experienced the fastest ramp-up in commercial aviation industry with a growing fleet of over 3,300 aircraft, which means that we will need to rely on our valued MRO partners as part of our growing network to keep providing our customers with the highest CFM standards,” said Nicolas Potier, VP support and services at Safran Aircraft Engines. Other ongoing offload support ST Engineering is providing for Safran Aircraft Engines includes maintenance for the CFM56-5B, CFM56-7B and LEAP-1A engines, underscoring the strong trust and partnership between the two companies.
