Ethiopian MRO Acquires Leap-1B PRSV1 Capability
Ethiopian MRO Services has successfully completed the acquisition of the CFM Leap-1B Performance Restoration Shop Visit (PRSV1) capability as of August 2025, following thorough engine testing at its Addis Ababa facility. This accomplishment has been sanctioned by both the Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority and the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The newly-achieved Leap-1B PRSV1 capability allows Ethiopian MRO to restore engine performance to the original specifications post-service. This places the facility among a select group worldwide with such approval. Notably, the LEAP-1B engine is exclusively used in the Boeing 737 MAX.
“This capability puts Ethiopian MRO among the very few MRO facilities which have achieved the testing capability of the Leap-1B engine. This is a milestone moment in the history of Ethiopian MRO,” stated Mesfin Tasew, Group Chief Executive Officer of Ethiopian Airlines.
