Avora Aviation has completed the sale of two CFM56-5B4/3 engines to Setna iO. The transaction, announced from Dubai on April 23, 2026, involved engines from Avora’s asset portfolio destined for teardown.
The components from these engines will support Setna iO’s global customer network. Setna iO purchased the engines on April 20, according to CAPA, with disassembly to be handled by Willis Engine Repair.
Yevgen Churyumov, Chief Commercial Officer at Avora Aviation, described the deal as a smooth process marked by professionalism and mutual respect from initial discussions to completion. He expressed interest in a potential long-term partnership with Setna iO.
Avora Aviation specializes in aircraft and engine asset management, trading, and leasing. The sale reflects ongoing demand for CFM56 parts amid supply chain challenges and a shift toward newer Leap engines from CFM International.
