FTAI Aviation and United extend CFM56-7B engine exchange programme

FTAI Aviation has established a multi-year maintenance, repair, and exchange (MRE) agreement with United Airlines, solidifying their collaboration within the aviation sector. This strategic partnership focuses on providing engine exchanges as an alternative to conventional shop visits for aircraft operators. Initially launched alongside United’s V2500-powered fleet, the program now encompasses selected CFM56-7B engines operated by United Airlines. FTAI will manage the logistics of these exchanges, streamlining maintenance operations for its partner. The expansion demonstrates a commitment from both organizations to enhance operational efficiency and reduce downtime for their respective customers.
