The certified preowned program will include a pre-purchase inspection conducted by Safran experts; a technical report and certificate of compliance to document the engine’s condition; a six-month or 50-hour warranty; credit of up to €21,000 ($22,657) toward the Safran by-the-hour maintenance program; and access to free training.
