Safran lifts full-year forecast for CFM Leap engine deliveries

Safran has increased its projected full-year delivery figures for CFM International’s Leap engines, anticipating a significant rise compared to the previous year's performance. Over the initial six months, Venture delivered more than 1,000 Leap powerplants, demonstrating strong demand for the engine family. Safran now forecasts a “high teens” percentage increase in deliveries, representing an improvement from their earlier projection of 15%. This revised outlook reflects continued robust production rates at both Safran and CFM International facilities. The updated forecast underscores the critical role of the Leap engine across various aircraft programs globally.
