TAMPA—Pem-Air, a Florida-based engine repair shop, has added maintenance capability for CFM International Leap engines.
The company signed a general support license agreement with CFM, the engine joint venture between GE Aerospace and Safran.
The agreement covers MRO and field support services for the 1A and 1B variants, which cover Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 Max aircraft, respectively.
The certification also covers the 1C variants for Comac C919 aircraft, although Pem-Air says its near-term focus will be on the 1A and 1B engine types.
Initially, services will focus on lighter maintenance workscopes such as hospital visits and field services, with plans to scale capabilities as customer needs grow. “Given the operational age of these engines, there isn’t heavy maintenance demand yet. Our plan is to grow capabilities alongside the engines’ work scope development,” a Pem-Air spokesperson told Aviation Week.
Pem Air said that the services will be carried out at its Brookville engine MRO facility, located about 45 min. from Tampa. It also operates an engine component and accessory repair shop in Davie, near Miami.
The addition of Leap services further broadens Pem-Air’s portfolio.
The company has capability for CF6, CFM6, GE90, PW2000 and PW4000, V2500, CF34, GP7200, RB211, Trent 800 and JT3D and JT9D engines.
