Leap Production and Deliveries Fully on Schedule: CFM
The Leap production ramp-up hasn’t really been affected by Boeing’s reduced 737 Max assembly rate, says CFM CEO Gaël Méheust.

CFM International’s continuing production ramp-up for the Leap turbofan engine family is fully on track. Deliveries of Leap-1As to Airbus for A320neo-family jets and Leap-1Bs to Boeing for 737 Maxes are entirely on schedule and two technical issues previously identified in service are fixed, according to Gaël Méheust, president and CEO of the CFM joint venture.
