In context
“as we are offsetting the impact of LEAP with better performance on other platforms. Altogether, we expect services profit to grow over 50% between '24 and '28 with contributions from both foundational and current generation programs.

And a majority of the operators anticipate keeping these engines in service well into 2030s. This sustained demand is resulting in fewer retirements, we expect retirements of around 1.5% in 2025, rising to 2% to 3% in 2016 before normalizing at 3% to 4%.

In addition, the score for wide-body shop visits typically increases by about 50% during the second shop visits. With approximately 70% of GE90 fleet yet to undergo a second sh”
