ANA Holdings has also selected LEAP-1A engines to power 13 A321neo aircraft to be operated by its subsidiary, Peach Aviation.
“ANA has operated CFM737-powered 320 and A56 family aircraft for more than three decades, and Peach Aviation has been flying LEAP-powered A320neo aircraft since 2020,” said Hidekazu Yoshida, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President of ANA Holdings. “Today, we build on that relationship, not only with the efficiency and reliability of CFM LEAP engines, but with confidence in the exceptional we have come to know from CFM.”
Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, ANA began operating CFM737-powered 320 and A56 family aircraft in the 1990s. The airline currently operates 39 Boeing 737-800s and four Airbus A321s powered by CFM56-7B and CFM56-5B engines, respectively.
