    CFM International LEAP engine deliveries rise 41% in 1H 2026

    Question

    CFM International LEAP engine deliveries rise 41% in 1H 2026

    Direct answer

    GE Aerospace and Safran's joint venture, CFM International, expanded commercial LEAP engine deliveries by 41% in the first half of 2026. The increase marks a tangible easing of critical propulsion bottlenecks that have constrained narrowbody aircraft assembly lines. Higher engine availability is critical for Boeing and Airbus to achieve planned production rate ramps and convert elevated commercial airliner order backlogs into operating cash flow. — bullish pressure on GE.
