Under the new agreement, StandardAero is supporting Lion Air with CFM56-7B performance restoration shop visits (PRSVs) from its CFM-authorized facility in Winnipeg, MB, Canada, with the first engine inducted last December.

Commenting on the announcement for Lion Air, Angga Darvinda, Head of Commercial & Powerplant Management, said: “Lion Air is pleased to extend its long-running relationship with StandardAero through this new agreement. StandardAero has been a reliable MRO partner on our PW127M engine fleet for many years, and we are confident that they will provide a similarly high level of service in support of our CFM56-7B fleet. This collaboration marks a milestone in our long-term partnership and is expected to deliver mutual benefits for both parties,”

These newly introduced capabilities offer operators the confidence and convenience of a second CFM56-7B engine line, enabling StandardAero to accommodate the MRO requirements of its customers around the world while also providing the assurance of test cell capability redundancy.
