Aerospace engine aftermarket services provider StandardAero has expanded its portfolio of CFM International CFM56-7B services to include exchange engine solutions, the company shared on July 17, 2025.
Under the exchange engine programme, StandardAero provides a serviceable CFM56-7B turbofan engine with strong remaining life, taking delivery of an unserviceable powerplant in turn.
The company said it recently completed an exchange of this type for Indian aviation company Stellar Aviation Solutions. The deal was completed in six weeks, which allowed Stellar Aviation to assist with the immediate return to service of a 737-800 aircraft that was needed urgently for cargo operations. The two companies also agreed on a future end-of-life solution for the serviceable engine after life limited parts (LLP) expiration. Both parties are working on an additional engine exchange opportunity.
“Working closely with our in-house asset management specialists, and our CFM56-7B MRO facilities in Dallas and Winnipeg, we are able to provide customers such as Stellar Aviation with responsive engine solutions which meet StandardAero’s rigorous quality standards," said StandardAero airline sales director for the company's airlines & fleet business unit.
