Ten years after making history as the launch customer for CFM’s #LEAP-1A engine on the Airbus #A320neo, Pegasus Airlines is celebrating a
decade of growth and continuous innovation with CFM International (CFM).
Since the inaugural commercial flight in 2016, Pegasus has expanded its fleet to nearly 130 aircraft, leveraging LEAP technology to cut fuel burn and CO₂ emissions by 15% while maximizing engine maturity and operational efficiency.
How did Pegasus help shape the LEAP engine story as its very first operator? What lessons have Pegasus and CFM learned from a decade of operations? How has this long-term partnership contributed to Pegasus’ rapid fleet growth over the past 10 years?
Tamer Yüzüak, Pegasus Group Director of Finance and Fleet Management and Gaël Méheust, President & CEO of CFM International answer these questions and more in this article ➡️ https://bit.ly/4i88ySp
Why this matters for talent
A decade of LEAP-1A service with a launch operator is a reminder that commercial engine programs are long-tail businesses. The talent demand that follows is in aftermarket, fleet support, field service and reliability engineering, not only new design work. GE Aerospace has more than 400 open roles on the board.
