GE Chairman and GE Aerospace CEO Larry Culp said that all options are on the table regarding a potential larger version of the Airbus A220 jet, including investing in a new engine.

CFM International is redesigning some parts of its LEAP engine to improve durability in harsh climates, to be available for retrofit on Airbus and Boeing jets next year. The move is in response to the analysis of high-pressure turbine blades and turbine nozzles when operating in harsh and hot environments. CFM provides power for the Boeing 737 MAX and competes with Pratt & Whitney to power the Airbus A320neo family.
