    CFM LEAP Engine Deliveries Surge 41% in H1 2026, Unblocking Boeing and Airbus Ramps

    Question

    CFM LEAP Engine Deliveries Surge 41% in H1 2026, Unblocking Boeing and Airbus Ramps

    Direct answer

    CFM International expanded LEAP engine shipments by 41% during the first six months of 2026, delivering critical propulsion units required for the Boeing 737 MAX and Airbus A320neo family programs. The supply surge addresses one of commercial aviation's primary multi-year component chokepoints, enabling airframe manufacturers to accelerate assembly rates and clear accumulated delivery backlogs. — bullish pressure on GE.
