RYANAIR BUYS 30 NEW CFM LEAP-1B ENGINES
$500M INVESTMENT WILL IMPROVE RESILIENCE
Ryanair today (10 June) announced it has reached agreement with CFM
to buy 30 new spare LEAP-1B engines which have a list price of
$500m. These fuel-efficient engines, which deliver over the next 2
years, will support Ryanair's fleet of 210x B737 Gamechanger
aircraft and also the B737 MAX-10 aircraft which deliver in 2027.
These 30 new engines greatly increase Ryanair's pool of spare
engines to over 120, which will enhance Ryanair's operational
resilience. Ryanair plans to increase its fleet to 800x B737s (all
powered by CFM engines) to grow its traffic to 300m guests p.a. by
2034.
Ryanair's Michael O'Leary said:
"We are pleased to
continue to develop our longstanding partnership with CFM (Safran
& GE Aerospace). Today's purchase of 30 new LEAP-1B spare
engines is a significant $500m commitment to improve the
operational resilience of our Group airlines. These latest
technology CFM engines reduce fuel consumption and
CO2
emissions per seat by up to 20%
when installed on our B737 MAX fleet, which will further widen
Ryanair's cost leadership over competitor airlines in
Europe."
CFM's President & CEO, Gael Meheust, said:
"This new agreement is another milestone in the long and successful
partnership we have built with Ryanair. We look forward to
continuing to support Ryanair's significant growth by providing
them with industry-leading reliability and utilization
standards".
Ryanair Holdings plc, Europe's largest airline group, is the parent
company of Buzz, Lauda, Malta Air, Ryanair & Ryanair UK.
Carrying c.206m guests p.a. on approx. 3,600 daily flights from 93
bases, the Group connects over 230 airports in 37 countries on a
fleet of almost 620 aircraft, and c.330 new Boeing 737s on order,
which will enable the Ryanair Group to grow traffic to 300m p.a. by
FY34. Ryanair has a team of over 26,000 highly skilled aviation
professionals delivering Europe's No.1 operational performance, and
an industry leading 40-year safety record. Ryanair is one of the
most efficient major EU airlines. With a young fleet and high load
factors, Ryanair targets 50grams of CO₂ per pax/km by 2031 (a
27% reduction).

Aircraft Engines, CFM International has redefined international
cooperation and helped change the course of commercial aviation
since its founding in 1974. Today, CFM is the world's leading
