CFM engines: broadest experience, highest demand

The CFM56 is the world’s most highly demanded engine. The fleet powers more than 71 percent of single-aisle aircraft, and 57 percent of the A320 family in service. While powering more than 8,500 airplanes, the CFM fleet logs over a million flight hours every eight days.

The CFM56 has excellent liquidity and is preferred by major airlines, low-cost carriers and leasing companies. Primary factors behind the CFM56's broad-based market acceptance are its industry-leading reliability, durability, low cost of ownership, and world-class customer and product support.

The CFM fleet’s installed base has a year-over-year growth rate of about 8 percent. In 1997, CFM powered about 2,000 single-aisle aircraft. By 2017, CFM should be the power behind 10,000 aircraft.
