CFM International is having a bumper airshow, announcing more than $2 billion of contracts by the end of Tuesday and with more deals worth potentially another $200 million due to be signed today.

Its largest deal at the show (so far) is the $540 million contract signed on Monday with Indonesian carrier Lion Air, which ordered CFM56-7Bs to power 40 Boeing 737-900ERs. This was closely followed by another with Bogota, Colombia-based Avianca, which chose the -5B version to power 33 Airbus A319s and A320s in an order worth $500 million over the life of the engine.
