Japan Airlines (JAL) signed a five-year TrueChoice Overhaul agreement to cover its CFM56-7B* engines that power its 48 Boeing 737-800 aircraft fleet. The TrueChoice Overhaul agreement covers the time and material required to overhaul more than 100 CFM56-7B engines.
?We are convinced that the TrueChoice Overhaul agreement for the CFM56-7B engine will provide a new competitive edge with both cost reduction benefits and OEM high reliability,? said Yukio Nakagawa, executive officer in charge of procurement at JAL.
?The TrueChoice Overhaul agreement with JAL is a natural extension of our relationship,? said Russell Stokes, GE Aviation Services President and Chief Executive Officer. ?GE has been honored to provide MRO services and material for JAL?s GE90, GEnx-1B, CF34-8E and -10E and CF6-80C2 engines. This agreement will enable us to provide high-quality OEM service to JAL?s CFM56-7B engine fleet to keep these engines flying.?
