AJW Group has purchased a CFM56-5B engine for teardown.

The aircraft component parts, repair and supply chain solutions provider said the acquisition would support its expanding engine inventory and engine management programmes.

The engine parts will be stored at AJW Group’s global facilities, with the aim of supporting the needs of worldwide A320 family operators. Customers will benefit from access to AJW’s pool of spare parts to support their ongoing operations, the company said.

AJW Group’s chief financial officer Ian Malin said: “We are delighted to have completed the successful acquisition of this in-demand engine type and offer the high-quality parts to our customer base alongside a complete serviceable CFM56-5B engine, ESN 575355, which is available for immediate lease.”
