Officials from China's Xiamen Airlines and ST Engineering signed a long-term support agreement for CFM Leap-1A engines at the Singapore Airshow.

Xiamen Airlines has signed a multi-year agreement for ST Engineering to support the CFM Leap-1A engines powering the Chinese carrier’s Airbus A320 fleet. Under the contract announced at the Singapore Airshow on Wednesday, the group’s commercial maintenance, repair, and overhaul operation will handle the first Performance Restoration Shop Visits (PRSV) for the turbofans.

ST Engineering is preparing to provide PRSV cover for both the Leap-1A engines and the Leap-1Bs that power Boeing 737 Max narrowbodies that Xiamen also has in its fleet. The Singapore company provides full overhaul support for the CFM turbofans.
