On the basis of this agreement, IATA also withdrew a formal complaint it lodged with the European Commission`s Competition Directorate in March 2016. UPDATE: According to MRO Network, the trade agreement between IATA and CFMI will enter into force on February 28, seven months after it was signed. Since IATA announced in July an agreement with CFM International to open the extraction services market on the manufacturer`s engines to increased third-party competition, important discussions have taken place on whether the agreement constitutes a change in the support policy of the GE-Safran joint venture. The Aviation Association says airlines, owners, third-party suppliers and parts suppliers will benefit from the new agreement. IATA Director General Alexandre de Juniac said in July that the agreement “reduces the operating costs of airlines and… continue to remain affordable.” GE Aviation has committed to adopting the behaviour policy “voluntarily” for its own range of civilian engines, although it is “not a party” to the IATA agreement, according to the CFM`s mother. Geneva – The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has reached an agreement with CFM International (CFM) that will strengthen competition in the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) market for CFM engines, a 50/50 partnership between GE and Safran Aircraft Engines. In July, IATA expressed hope that the CFM agreement would be “an example for other manufacturers they should follow.” IATA describes the agreement as a basis for “improving the opportunities available to MRO engine and service providers on the CFM56 and the new Leap series.” The pact was an out-of-court settlement and on the condition that the Aviation Association withdrew a complaint to the European Commission in 2016 regarding CFM`s aftermarketing practices. The agreement provides for the opening of CFM to third-party engines and MRO services for its CFM56 and LEAP engines.
