By John Lee.

Iraqi Airways has taken delivery of its first LEAP-1B spare engine for its Boeing 737 MAX fleet. A second spare engine is expected to arrive in August.

According to the Ministry of Transport, Manaf Abd al-Mun'im, Director General of the airline, said the delivery runs in parallel with efforts overseen by Transport Minister Wahab al-Hassani to secure additional spare engines, raise technical capabilities, and facilitate the return of grounded aircraft to service.

Abd al-Mun'im said the second engine would provide greater flexibility for unscheduled maintenance and support the continued efficient and reliable operation of the 737 MAX fleet in line with international best practices.
