Aircraft in the back looks to be MSN 7162, a CFM powered A320neo for Pegasus Airlines. I'm surprised to see the CFM powered A320neo jets going into storage as well. |

Re the CFMs, they are offering re blading the third stage to extend life on wing past the already promised 7 years !

Makes sense. Fewer stages and parts on the GTF. Wondering what the weight difference would be like between the LEAP-1B and the neo engines. |

Thanks for that! Goes to show how minor the weight penalty on the 81 inch fan PW1100G-JM is compared to the 69.4 inch fan MAX LEAP-1B. Only 78kg per engine or 2.8% heavier. On the other hand the 78 inch LEAP-1A is heavier than the LEAP-1B by a whopping 373kg per engine or about 13.4%.  |
