GE Aerospace delivers 2,386 commercial engines in 2025 despite supply chain constraints

GE Aerospace increased engine deliveries in 2025 despite persistent supply chain constraints, supported by a sharp rise in output from its commercial propulsion programs, particularly the CFM LEAP.

The manufacturer delivered a total of 2,386 commercial aircraft engines during the year, a 25% increase compared with 2024. The growth came as engine makers continue efforts to stabilize industrial systems that have limited production in recent years, directly affecting aircraft manufacturers such as Airbus, Boeing, and Embraer.

A significant share of the increase was driven by CFM International, the GE–Safran joint venture, which accelerated deliveries of the LEAP turbofan used on the Airbus A320neo family and the Boeing 737 MAX. CFM delivered 1,802 LEAP engines in 2025, up 28% from 1,407 units the previous year, marking the highest annual output for the program to date.

GE attributed the production ramp-up to improved material availability, noting that priority suppliers delivered more than 40% additional material input compared with 2024. The increase allowed both higher engine deliveries and a recovery in spare-parts availability after several years of constrained output.

The stronger production performance was noted in the company’s financial results. GE Aerospace reported revenue of $45.9 billion for 2025, an 18% year-on-year increase, while profit rose to $8.7 billion. The commercial engines business alone generated $33.3 billion in revenue, with equipment sales growing 18% and aftermarket services up 21%.

GE said demand for maintenance, repair and overhaul services continued to rise alongside the growing installed base of LEAP-powered aircraft, which has expanded the share of service revenues.

The company expects further gains in 2026, forecasting low double-digit revenue growth and operating profit between $9.85 billion and $10.25 billion, as production stability improves and engine output continues to rise.
