Ethiopian Airlines has announced that its Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) division has achieved the capability to perform Performance Restoration Shop Visit (PRSV1) maintenance on the CFM International LEAP-1B engine. This engine is used exclusively on Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.

“This is truly a proud moment for us. This capability puts Ethiopian MRO among the very few MRO facilities which have achieved the testing capability of the Leap-1B engine. As we are growing our MRO services and expanding our capabilities, this is a milestone moment in the history of Ethiopian MRO. I would like to thank all our partners and my colleagues who contributed to this success,” said Mr. Mesfin Tasew, Group Chief Executive Officer of Ethiopian Airlines.

The new PRSV1 capability enables Ethiopian MRO Services to restore LEAP-1B engines’ performance to their original specifications after a period of operation.
