CFM56-7B Market
Historic High
IBA Sep 2025 + Ishka Q4 2025: values at or near peak. Distinct lack of availability. Lease rates above long-term trend.
OEM Parts Prices
+30% in 2yrs
Used serviceable material shortage. OEM material up ~30% since 2023. EAL stock bought at old prices now worth significantly more.
Sell Window
2025–2027
LEAP-1B fleet projected to match CFM56-7B by 2030. Peak pricing window may close as LEAP supply increases. Act now on 7B assets.
⚡ FTAI Power — CFM56 Retirement Accelerator
FTAI Aviation (NASDAQ: FTAI) launched FTAI Power in Dec 2025 — converting CFM56 engines into 25MW aeroderivative gas turbines for AI data centres. Production starting 2026, targeting 100+ units/year at $20M+ per unit.

EAL implication: FTAI conversions remove engines from the aviation parts pool (bullish for near-term parts prices) but will accelerate retirements long-term, increasing parts availability 2027+. Monitor FTAI production ramp — if 100+/yr materialises, CFM56 part prices may soften from 2027–2028.

⚠ Sanctions & Diversion Risk — Aviation Parts 2026
UK guidance explicitly names aviation parts as high-risk for Russia circumvention. OFAC Aug 2025: 18 Iran-linked shadow banking targets sanctioned. BIS Nov 2025: Rossiya Airlines TDO renewed. Iran and Russia routinely use UAE FZCOs, Turkish intermediaries and newly incorporated companies to procure aviation parts. Run Due Diligence on all new buyers before quoting. Flag unusual routing countries (Turkey, UAE unverified, Central Asia).
