Delta Air Lines has selected CFM Int'l’s CFM56-5B engines to power 30 firm A321ceo (current engine option) aircraft. The agreement is valued at more than $850 million at list price, including spare engines and a suite of material support agreements for the new fleet.
The materials agreements provide for the comprehensive repair and replacement of life-limited and non-life limited parts for the CFM56-5B engines. The agreements also provide Delta with technical data for component repairs and engine overhaul to assist their operations.
"Delta's choice of CFM56-5B engines to support our new A321 aircraft is a logical extension of the CFM56 engines we operate on our existing A320-family aircraft," says Nat Pieper, Delta vice president of fleet strategy and transactions.
