Mexico’s flag carrier, Aeromexico, has signed a 12-years Rate Per Flight Hour agreement with CFM Services to support a minimum of 128 LEAP-1B engines that power its fleet of Boeing 737 MAX 8 and MAX 9 airplanes.
The order is valued at US$2.3 billion U.S. at list price. RPFH agreements are part of CFM Services flexible support offering. Under the terms of the agreement, CFM will support the fleet on a dollar per flight hour basis.
Aeromexico, which was founded in 1934, is a long-time CFM customer and took delivery of its first CFM56-7B-powered Next-Generation 737 in 2003. Today, the airline operates as three new 737 MAX 8 airplanes, as well as a fleet of more than 52 CFM56-powered Next-Generation 737s.
