CHICAGO, Oct 22 (Reuters) - GE Aerospace CEO
Larry Culp said the company is working to ramp up production to
keep up with demand for LEAP engines, which power Airbus
and Boeing ( BA ) narrowbody aircraft.
The comments came after the company forecast a double-digit
decline in LEAP jet engine deliveries this year due to supply
constraints.
"We have very strong demand across the industry," Culp told
Reuters. "Both the airlines as they utilize existing fleets,
(and) the air framers as they work to help the airlines expand
those same fleets are pulling on us and others for more."
