StandardAero has signed a non-exclusive agreement with Turkish operator Corendon Airlines to provide CFM International LEAP-1B engine services in support of the carrier’s fleet of Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.  Corendon joins the growing list of operators to rely on StandardAero’s new LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) line established at its San Antonio facility in Texas.

StandardAero has already inducted Corendon’s first LEAP-1B engine, for a Continued Time Engine Maintenance (CTEM) shop visit.  In addition to the LEAP-powered MAX fleet, Corendon also operates Boeing 737-800 jets powered by CFM56-7B engines.  This new agreement extends StandardAero’s existing relationship with Corendon on the CFM56-7B.

Commenting on the announcement, Will Pitcher, Senior Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Customers for StandardAero’s Airlines & Fleets division, said: 

“StandardAero is proud to have been entrusted by Corendon Airlines to provide LEAP-1B MRO services, adding Türkiye to our growing list of LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B customer nations.  We value the confidence shown by Corendon in our San Antonio-based LEAP team, and look forward to meeting the service expectations of Corendon and its passengers for many years to come.”
