AIP Capital to Acquire 11 CFM LEAP-1B Spare Engines

AIP Capital and Bridgepoint Group have agreed to purchase 11 CFM International LEAP-1B spare engines to support operators of Boeing 737 MAX family aircraft.

The engines, scheduled for delivery between 2027 and 2029, will expand the partners’ spare engine leasing portfolio and support airlines, maintenance providers and other operators requiring additional engine capacity. The latest purchase follows the acquisition of 10 LEAP-1B spare engines by AIP Capital and Bridgepoint in 2024.

The companies said the investment reflects continued demand for next-generation spare engines as global 737 MAX fleets expand. The LEAP-1B is recognized for its fuel efficiency, reliability and lower emissions, making it a key engine choice for Boeing’s latest narrowbody aircraft.

CFM has delivered more than 10,000 LEAP engines worldwide and continues to enhance the engine family with durability and maintenance upgrades designed to improve on-wing performance and reduce operating costs.
