Montreal MRO provider expands service contract with Snecma

Snecma's CFM56 engine powers the Airbus A320. 

Aviation MRO-provider Aveos has signed a five-year agreement for the repair and overhaul of Snecma's CFM56-5 platform engines and Line Replaceable Units (LRU's), supporting the OEM with its additional capacity. The CFM56-5 engines power the Airbus A series from A318 through 319, including A320, A340-200 and A340-300. The CFM56 is, according to Snecma, the best-selling engine "in the history of aviation."

The new agreement extends a working relationship that has already lasted almost fifteen years during which Aveos has provided MRO services to Snecma.
