WEST CHESTER, Ohio - CFM International has been selected the 2013 Boeing Propulsion Supplier of the year. The award, which recognizes exceptional performance and contributions to Boeing's success during 2013, is based on meeting or exceeding quality, on-time delivery, post-delivery support and affordability goals, and demonstrating the ability to anticipate and respond to changing requirements.
Overall, CFM has delivered more than 13,650 CFM56 engines to Boeing since it became the sole engine supplier for what is now called the Boeing 737 Classic, which was following in 1997 with the introduction of the CFM56-7B as the only engine to power the Next-Generation 737 aircraft. This unique, long-lived sole supplier relationship was extended in 2011 when Boeing chose the advanced LEAP-1B engine to exclusively power its new 737 MAX airplane scheduled to enter service in 2017. Development of the LEAP-1B engine is on schedule, with testing on track to begin in June 2014.
