CFM International (CFM) was formed in 1974 as a 50/50 joint company between GE and Safran Aircraft Engines. Today, CFM is the world’s leading supplier of commercial transport aircraft engines and the best example of a successful international joint venture. 
Since the first engine was delivered in 1982, CFM has received orders for more than 50,000 CFM56 and LEAP engines from 600 operators worldwide, of which more than 34,700 engines have been delivered.   
In addition to the highly successful CFM56 product line, CFM introduced the advanced LEAP engine which has demonstrated an unrivaled utilization since it started revenue service in August 2016. The LEAP engine powers the Airbus A320neo, the Boeing 737 MAX and the COMAC C919. To date, the fleet has logged more than 4,000 000 flight-hours. Overall, CFM has garnered orders and commitments for more than 17,300 LEAP and plans to build 2,000 engines per year by 2020.  
As of March 2019, more than 750 aircraft had been delivered to 100 customers. 
The engine is delivering a 15 percent improvement in fuel efficiency along with significant reductions in noise and emissions signatures.  All of this while maintaining CFM’s industry-leading reliability and overall cost of ownership. 
In 2008, with the launch of the LEAP engine, CFM announced that all services offerings for this new product would come from directly from CFM.  The organize could also provide support for CFM56 engines, as well.  This was done to support customer requests for seamless product sales and support.  
Since then, the primary focus of CFM Services has been to provide world-class aftermarket products and programs, working with customers to meet their unique, evolving needs from entry-into-service to mid-life through maturity and retirement.
