Delta TechOps expands into India with IndiGo CFM56-5B support

Delta TechOps has signed an eight-year exclusive agreement with IndiGo to maintain 20 CFM56-5B engines powering the airline’s Airbus A320ceo fleet.

The deal, announced on April 22, 2026, at MRO Americas in Orlando, represents Delta TechOps’ first major collaboration with IndiGo and its initial foothold in India’s aviation market, the world’s third-largest.

Maintenance work will take place at Delta TechOps’ primary base in Atlanta. The partnership leverages Delta TechOps’ expertise in CFM56 engines and its global Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul capabilities to support IndiGo’s high-utilization fleet.

IndiGo, India’s largest low-cost carrier, operates these engines on its A320ceo aircraft. This agreement expands Delta TechOps’ third-party maintenance services into a key growth region for aviation.
