"What an incredible week,” said Jean-Paul Ebanga, president and CEO of
CFM International. “We started the show predicting that 2014 would be
another record year; that prediction came true in a big way. As of
today, we have total orders and commitments for more than 3,000 engines.
And it is still only July. Both the LEAP and CFM56 product lines
continue to prove their worth to our airline customers around the globe
and we are constantly gratified by the continued faith these airlines
show in our people and our products. As always, our job is to continue
to earn their trust every day, delivering the reliability and operating
economics they have come to depend on from CFM.”
