French-American jet engine maker CFM International said on Saturday it was redesigning some parts of its LEAP engine to improve durability in harsh climates, to be available for retrofit on Airbus and Boeing jets next year.
Analysts say all engines take time to achieve the extended time between maintenance visits promised to airlines, designed to reduce repair costs, but most publicity has focused so far on Pratt & Whitney, which has a higher number of jets out of service.
Waiting times for repairs have increased as airlines industry copes with a rapid increase in demand, which is in turn forcing CFM into a second sharp industrial ramp-up for new engines - even steeper than the LEAP's introduction in 2016. Founded in the aftermath of a summit between French and U.S. leaders held 50 years ago, CFM said it was preparing to start ground and flight testing in the middle of the decade for its newest open-fan engine project due for introduction in 2035 and known as RISE.
