CFM International is a joint venture of GE Aviation and French company Snecma.
Including the order from AirAsia, among others, GE Aviation turned in a total approximately $11 billion in orders and service agreements Wednesday, said Deborah Case, GE Aviation spokeswoman.
That compares to Monday’s tally of $6 billion and Tuesday’s tally of about $9 billion in business, Case said.
Other deals announced Wednesday include:
• CIT Group ordered 30 Boeing 737 MAX 8 planes carrying LEAP 1-B engines made by CFM International. The engine order for the planes have a $760 million list price.
• Irish low-cost carrier Ryanair finalized an engine order worth $3.37 billion to supply 175 Boeing Next-Generation 737-800 planes. The planes are equipped with CFM56-7B engines. Because this finalized a commitment Ryanair previously announced this year, the amount of the order is not included in Wednesday’s grand total of deals listed above for GE Aviation and its joint ventures.
• Evergreen Aviation Technologies Corp., a mid-sized boutique aircraft maintenance repair and overhaul facility, signed a materials agreement with GE Aviation for the Ohio company to supply them engine parts.
• Cathay Pacific Airways signed a 15-year service agreement valued at $380 million over the life of the contract for service on 12 GEnx-2B engines.
GE Aviation, headquartered in suburban Cincinnati in Evendale, produces commercial and military jet engines and engine components, and offers engine services. CFM International is based in West Chester Twp.
