Vallair has completed the sale of a CFM56-5B3/P engine, (serial number 779740), to an undisclosed customer. Fresh from performance restoration with full life remaining at -5B3 thrust level, the engine is a perfect candidate for lease across the A320 family of aircraft.
“The demand for this engine type is strong and steadily increasing due to very high engine shop visit demand, current limited engine shop availability, long turnaround times, and labour shortages among other factors. This newly overhauled engine, with full operational capability across all thrust levels will be put on lease,” says Patrick Leopold, Director of Asset Management at Vallair.
