Powerhouse Engines Expands Leasing Portfolio with Acquisition of (2) CFM56-5B Engines

MIAMI, Aug. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Powerhouse Engines today announced the acquisition of two CFM56-5B engines, further expanding its inventory and strengthening its position as a trusted global provider of aviation engine solutions.

The CFM56-5B, widely recognized for its reliability and efficiency, powers the Airbus A320 family and remains one of the most in-demand engines in the market. With this acquisition, Powerhouse Engines now holds both material and an increasing portfolio, enhancing its ability to offer flexible leasing, trading, and MRO solutions to airlines, lessors, and MRO providers worldwide.

These newly acquired engines will be placed on operating lease with a valued customer, underscoring Powerhouse's increased engagement in the mid-gen market segment. As the aviation industry continues to navigate complex supply chain challenges, airlines and lessors are increasingly turning to leasing solutions to avoid costly and time-consuming shop visits making readily available, serviceable engines more critical than ever.

"The acquisition of these CFM56-5B engines reflects our commitment to providing our customers with immediate access to high-quality assets and delivering the right solutions at the right time," said Eric Engdahl, CEO of Powerhouse Engines. "By expanding our portfolio, we are better positioned to meet market demand, offering custom leasing solutions, and MRO support to our clients in today's dynamic aviation landscape."

With global engine MRO demand peaking for performance restoration shop visits, the need for spare engines is on the rise, particularly as the A320 CEO family of aircraft continues to receive operational life extensions. Industry forecasts show that mid-generation engine demand for maintenance and trading activity will remain strong well into the next decade.

Aligning with demand, the acquisition underscores a bold new growth phase following a major capital investment from partners led by Inoa Capital. Powerhouse Engines' capital investment strategy ensures the continued growth of its engine leasing platform and expansion of its MRO capabilities, enabling the company to deliver tailored solutions and added value to its customers.
