The collaboration will initially cover CFM56-5B and CFM56-7B engines and GTCP131-9 series APUs, with guaranteed capacity for FTAI over the next five years. The strategic collaboration was formalized during MRO Asia-Pacific 2026 at Singapore EXPO, Singapore.

Building on an existing relationship in which GMF provides engine maintenance services for FTAI, the strategic partnership provides a foundation to progressively expand into deeper module and piece-part capabilities and next-generation engines, including CFM LEAP.

With its existing facility, qualified technicians and engineers, quality systems, tools, and equipment, GMF provides an established MRO platform for the partnership. FTAI’s technical expertise and training support will reinforce GMF’s technical capabilities and manpower development. At the same time, the additional workload generated by FTAI and its customers will create further opportunities to accelerate the expansion of the engine maintenance business.

The collaboration is also expected to strengthen the engine MRO supply chain by improving access to materials, spare parts, and components, while creating opportunities to enhance availability and cost.

Looking ahead, the strategic collaboration opens opportunities for GMF to serve as a key regional MRO partner for FTAI and its customers across the Asia-Pacific, with a shared long-term vision to build a competitive and sustainable engine maintenance business
