500 million flight hours

Every three seconds, an aircraft powered by CFM56 engines takes flight somewhere around the world. The fleet gains another million hours of experience every 8 days.

As the CFM56 gathers more flight hours under its belt, CFM engineers build on the design, making it more reliable. Since 1995, CFM departures have increased 154 percent while the number of engine events has decreased 32 percent.

Isn’t it a comfort to know the most dependable engine in the world is just getting better?
