BOC Aviation announces order for up to 300 LEAP engines

FARNBOROUGH, England – July 20, 2026 – CFM International and BOC Aviation Limited have finalized a firm order for up to 200 LEAP-1A and 100 LEAP-1B engines to power Airbus A320neo family and Boeing 737 MAX aircraft that BOC Aviation had previously ordered.

CFM engines have powered part of BOC Aviation’s fleet since 1998. The Singapore-based leasing company placed its first order for LEAP-1A engines in 2013 and, today, these engines power more than 240 aircraft in BOC Aviation’s portfolio.

This is our largest ever engine transaction and it will propel our growth from this decade into the next,” said Steven Townend, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director. “The significant emissions reductions and lower fuel-burn characteristics of the CFM LEAP engine family align with our commitment to building one of the most environmentally friendly fleets of any major lessor.”

We are honored to be such an integral part of BOC Aviation’s long-term strategy, both in terms of fleet growth as well as achieving its important sustainability goals,” said Gaël Méheust, president and CEO of CFM International.We value the deep relationship our two companies share and are committed to delivering the product attributes and support that BOC Aviation and its customers have come to rely on from CFM.

With more than 10,000 engines delivered to date, CFM LEAP engines have experienced the fastest ramp in commercial aviation history. CFM continues to upgrade the LEAP fleet with a high-pressure turbine (HPT) durability kit to extend time on wing and a Reverse Bleed System (RBS) to lower airline maintenance burden. The company is focused on delivering high engine availability through exceptional MRO performance and competitive cost of ownership, with the benefits of aftermarket competition through its open MRO ecosystem.
