Abra Group Expands CFM LEAP Engine Partnership

Abra Group has expanded its partnership with CFM International through an order for 100 LEAP-1A engines to power 50 Airbus A320neo family aircraft assigned to Avianca, alongside a long-term services agreement covering both Avianca and GOL fleets.

The agreement provides engines for 50 previously unallocated aircraft within Avianca’s remaining A320neo family order and also includes spare engines. The long-term support package extends to GOL’s Boeing 737 MAX fleet, further strengthening the group’s engine maintenance and support capabilities.

Once all aircraft are delivered, Abra Group’s combined Avianca and GOL operations will include more than 650 LEAP-powered aircraft, including those in service and on order, making the group CFM’s largest operator in Latin America. The airlines also continue to operate a substantial fleet of CFM56-powered aircraft.

The expanded agreement supports Abra’s strategy of operating a modern, fuel-efficient fleet while improving reliability, maintenance planning and operating efficiency across its airline portfolio.
