- The Kuwaiti budget carrier expanded its existing engine services agreement to cover its current and future fleet of twenty-nine A320neo family aircraft plus spare engines.
- Jazeera Airways CEO Parathan Basubathy said the selection reflects continued confidence in CFM technology, reliability and support, and will aid fleet expansion and operational efficiency.
- In May 2018 Jazeera Airways became the first Middle East airline to operate A320neo aircraft with LEAP-1A engines.
- The airline currently operates eleven A320neo with LEAP-1A engines and thirteen A320ceo with CFM56-5B engines.
