Based in Tokyo, Japan, ANA began operating CFM56-powered 737 and A320 family aircraft in the 1990s. The airline currently operates 39 Boeing 737-800 and four Airbus A321 powered by CFM56-7B and CFM56-5B engines, respectively. By exercising options for 10 additional Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, ANA will grow its order book from 20 to 30 such aircraft.
“We are honored and humbled by the enduring confidence ANA Holdings has placed in CFM by expanding its LEAP-powered fleet of both Airbus and Boeing aircraft,” said Gaël Méheust, president and CEO of CFM International. “We are more committed than ever to delivering the efficiency, reliability, and world-class support that ANA has come to rely on from CFM.”
