FARNBOROUGH, England - 22 July 2026 - FlyOne Armenia, the largest airline in Armenia, signed an MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) with CFM International for four LEAP-1A engines to power two Airbus A321neo. The aircraft order was announced in May during the state visit of French President Emmanuel Macron in Yerevan.

Based at Zvartnots International Airport, the airline already operates four A320ceo aircraft powered by CFM56-5B engines.

"This agreement underlines our ongoing commitment to operating a modern and efficient fleet for our passengers," said Aram Khachatryan, General Director of FlyOne Armenia. "The LEAP-1A engines will enable us to enhance our operational efficiency as we continue our growth across European markets."

Established in 2021, FlyOne Armenia has quickly become one of the leading airlines in the Republic of Armenia. The airline operates scheduled and charter flights to more than 26 destinations across Europe.

"We are honored by the continued confidence of FlyOne Armenia with this first LEAP engine order," said Gaël Méheust, president and chief executive officer of CFM International. "We remain fully committed to delivering the very best CFM has to offer, in terms of efficiency, reliability, and world-class customer support."

With more than 10,000 engines delivered to date, CFM LEAP engines have experienced the fastest ramp in commercial aviation history. CFM continues to upgrade the LEAP fleet with a high-pressure turbine (HPT) durability kit to extend time on wing and a reverse bleed system (RBS) to lower airline maintenance burden. The company is focused on delivering high engine availability through exceptional MRO performance and competitive cost of ownership, with the benefits of aftermarket competition through its open MRO ecosystem.
