Akasa Air orders over 300 CFM engines for its new B737 MAX aircraft
Akasa Air has ordered over 300 LEAP-1B engines from CFM International to power 150 B737 MAX aircraft that it ordered from Boeing earlier this month.
Each Leap 1-B engine costs around $15 million. The deal is valued at around $4.5 billion and includes spare engines and a services contract.
Last year, Air India also signed an agreement with CFM International – a joint venture between American company GE and French company Safran – to provide more than 800 LEAP engines for A320neo family planes and B737 Max planes that it ordered in 2023.
