AerFin has launched a new support capability for the V2500 engine, expanding its engine maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services as demand increases across the narrowbody market. The move strengthens the company’s ability to provide in-house maintenance and inspection support to operators and lessors worldwide.
Expanding MRO capacity
The company has secured approvals from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to carry out light maintenance on the platform.
The capability is based at AerFin’s facility at Indurent Park, which opened in January 2025. The 116,000 sq. ft. site includes 26 engine bays and can support up to 200 quick-turn shop visits per year. AerFin said the in-house capability will give customers more direct access to maintenance services, reducing reliance on third-party providers.
Supporting a key narrowbody engine
The V2500 engine powers aircraft in the Airbus A320 family and remains widely used across global short-haul fleets. As more engines enter heavier maintenance cycles, operators face increasing pressure to maintain availability while managing costs and operational complexity.
AerFin’s new offering includes borescope inspections, C checks, LRU replacements, and full visual inspections. These services support end-of-lease transitions, pre-purchase checks, and ongoing maintenance planning.
Simon Bayliss, Chief Operating Officer at AerFin, said the accreditation reflects growing demand for “reliable, timely support” for the V2500 platform.
Asim Chalise, VP MRO Sales, added that early insight into engine condition is increasingly important in helping operators manage maintenance and avoid disruption.
The V2500 capability builds on AerFin’s existing MRO Lite services for CFM56-5B and CFM56-7B engines, creating a broader support offering across both Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 families.
Further approvals are in progress as the company continues to expand its engine services in response to evolving aftermarket demand.
With demand for narrowbody engine maintenance continuing to rise, AerFin’s latest capability positions the company to offer more direct, flexible support across the Airbus A320 family. As additional approvals progress, the company is aiming to further strengthen its role in the global aviation aftermarket.
