Orders for airliners announced here at the Farnborough International Airshow are also adding to demand for CFM International’s turbofans, according to the engine manufacturer (Outdoor Exhibit 22, Hall 3 Stand 100). The 30 Boeing 737 MAX 200s Xiamen Airlines ordered here will be powered by 60 of CFM’s LEAP-IB engines, a contract valued at $980 million, CFM said. (The airliner order requires approval from the Chinese government before consummation.)
