LEAP engine fleet surpasses 10 million flight hours DUBAI, 2 hours, 26 minutes ago CFM International’s LEAP engine fleet has surpassed 10 million engine flight hours and five million flight cycles in less than five years of commercial service. Since the first LEAP-powered flight entered commercial service in August 2016, the engine program has grown exponentially. Nearly 1,400 LEAP-powered aircraft have been delivered to some 136 operators on five continents to date. Across the Mena region, airlines including Air Arabia, Egypt Air, Etihad, FlyDubai, Gulf Air, Kuwait, Qatar, Royal Air Maroc, and Saudia include LEAP engines as an important part of their fleets. “The LEAP engine just keeps delivering what we promised more than ten years ago when we launched the program. The rate at which the fleet has been accumulating hours and cycles is fantastic. We’re honoured to continue to reliably power our global operators’ fleets, with a shared vision and ambition to create lower emissions and reduced noise to deliver the most efficient flight operations possible,” said Gaël Méheust, president and CEO of CFM International.
