Sanad, GE Aerospace, and Safran Aircraft Engines expand partnership to launch full CFM LEAP engine overhaul and test capabilities in Abu Dhabi
Sanad, a global leader in aerospace engineering and leasing solutions wholly owned by Abu Dhabi's sovereign investor Mubadala Investment Company PJSC (Mubadala), today announced an expansion of its existing offload agreement with GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines for the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) provider for CFM International LEAP engines. As such, this marks a major milestone in Sanad's growth as a full-capability service provider, strengthening its global presence and reinforcing its growing influence as a trusted partner of the global aerospace industry. Since 2023, Sanad has been performing maintenance visits for LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines with over 35 shop visits already completed. The company is also on track to achieve full in-house testing capabilities for both engine variants by the fourth quarter of 2025, a key milestone that will enable Sanad to conduct comprehensive overhauls, validate engine performance, and deliver faster, more streamlined services. Under the new agreement, Sanad will expand its services to include full overhaul capabilities for both LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines, further enhancing its end-to-end MRO offering for the LEAP platform. This expansion comes at a time of significant growth in the narrow-body aircraft segment, which is expected to represent over 75% of the future global commercial fleet. The LEAP engine powers two of the most in-demand aircraft in this category: the Boeing 737 MAX and Airbus A320neo families. Sanad's enhanced LEAP engine capabilities will provide comprehensive lifecycle support for this rapidly expanding engine fleet. With overhaul, repair, and testing services delivered from its advanced facilities in Abu Dhabi, Sanad is positioned to meet the evolving needs of global airlines, supporting engine availability, optimizing turnaround times, and reinforcing the UAE's leadership in high-value aerospace services. 'This milestone reflects Sanad's unwavering commitment to quality, innovation, technical expertise and outstanding service excellence,' said Mansoor Janahi, Managing Director and Group CEO of Sanad. 'Our expanded collaboration with GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines strengthens our long-standing partnership while advancing the UAE's ambition to be a global center for aerospace technology and industrial advancement.' 'Sanad is demonstrating its ability to deliver world-class MRO services,' said Alan Kelly, General Manager of CFM LEAP Engine Services at GE Aerospace. 'Not only will Middle Eastern carriers benefit from local capability, but the broader MRO ecosystem will also benefit from the additional capacity.' 'Sanad's work addresses rising demand for LEAP-powered aircraft and associated engine maintenance,' said Nicolas Potier, Vice President of Support & Services for Safran Aircraft Engines. 'This collaboration shows how the MRO ecosystem for LEAP engines continues to growth and mature.' To support this expansion, Sanad will invest in infrastructure, new tooling, equipment, and operational capabilities. These enhancements will be implemented within Sanad's existing MRO and test cell facilities in Abu Dhabi and are expected to create 140 new jobs, with a strong focus on Emiratization and national workforce development in line with the company's long-term goals. By 2027, Sanad will be fully equipped to perform complete overhaul and testing services for all LEAP engine offloads under this agreement, further solidifying its role as a trusted MRO partner for the global aviation industry and contributing to the UAE's broader ambitions for industrial growth and global aerospace leadership. *CFM and LEAP are trademarks of CFM International, a 50/50 joint company between GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines.

French aerospace giant to set up Hyderabad unit for maintenance of Rafale engines; 150 jobs by 2026
HYDERABAD: French aerospace giant Safran is setting up a new entity, Safran Aircraft Engine Services India, for the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of the Rafale fighter jet's M88 engines. This was announced by Telangana IT & industries minister D Sridhar Babu after a meeting with Safran's general manager Pierre Fernandez as part of a round table meeting with a delegation from the IndoFrench Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IFCCI). The proposed MRO will create around 150 new jobs by the end of 2026 and will have the potential to generate another 750 jobs in subsequent phases, the minister said on Tuesday. The announcement for the establishment of the Rafale engines MRO comes just days after Rafale's manufacturer Dassault Aviation signed four production transfer agreements with Tata Advanced Systems Ltd (TASL) for manufacturing the entire fuselage for the fighter jet, marking the first time these components will be produced outside France.

Safran to set up Rafale engine maintenance & repair facility in Hyderabad, 1st outside France
'We are delighted to select Hyderabad location as the first export maintenance facility dedicated to the M88,' said Christophe Bruneau , Executive Vice President, Military Engines at Safran Aircraft Engines. In a statement, the company said the brand new facility will have a capacity of 600+ modules per year and will generate up to 150 jobs by 2040 and will help meet the strong growth of M88 maintenance activities worldwide. New Delhi: French engine-maker Safran will be setting up a new Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility for the Rafale's M88 engine in Hyderabad. This site will be the first one to maintain M88 modules outside France. 'This project marks an important step in the development of Indian sovereignty in aerospace and defence, while demonstrating our commitment to developing a world-class MRO ecosystem for the benefit of all M88 operators,' he said. The company said that the new workshop will also benefit from synergies with other Safran production facilities and MRO workshops located in the region, in line with their commitment to develop a comprehensive commercial and military supply chain in India for aircraft engines. The MRO facility will not only cater to the Rafales operated by the Indian Air Force but also those ordered by the Indian Navy. Till now, the engines used to be flown back to France for MRO activities. Incidentally, Safran is also the front-runner to bag a mega contract to jointly design and manufacture a new fighter jet engine that will power India's 5th generation fighter platforms.
