The sale of two “CFM56-7B” engines to CFM Materials underscores Sanad’s strategic shift and proactive approach to strengthening its market position in the aviation industry.

This strategic agreement marks a pivotal milestone for the Sanad Leasing division’s ongoing strategy, which was initiated last year with a renewed focus on monetizing existing assets and leveraging the Sanad Leasing division to empower and enhance the Sanad MRO division.
