Ryanair, CFM Seal Materials MoU Backing 2029 In‑House Engine Maintenance

Overview

• The multi-year, multi‑billion‑dollar agreement covers spare parts and component repairs for roughly 2,000 CFM56‑7B and LEAP‑1B engines on Ryanair’s 737 fleet.
• CFM will provide interim MRO services during the ramp‑up while Ryanair builds two engine maintenance facilities in Europe from 2029.
• Ryanair commits to purchase all engine spare parts directly from CFM, beginning with substantial initial provisioning for the new shops.
• Once maintenance is fully internal, Ryanair estimates the contract will exceed $1 billion per year for CFM in spare engines and parts.
• The pact extends a 30‑year partnership as Ryanair grows toward about 800 Boeing 737s, including 400+ NGs in service, 200+ MAX 8s, and firm MAX 10 orders.
