No, the engine manufacturers are different companies. The customers purchase the jet from Boeing or Airbus (or a smaller regional jet manufacturer) and select what engine they would like installed on the aircraft.
Granted Jeff, but if what Laura says is true that CFM makes the MAJORITY of engines for both, it’s not really one airline or the other that is necessarily safer based solely on that criteria.
I do totally agree with your comment below about DEI, trashing a successful American company, Chinese crap, etc etc. And of course i already said by objective standards that air travel is very safe… until you or someone you know is on one of those “rare” emergency flights that terrifies or kills you.
Completely agree with the sentiment, but what Laura says isn't accurate. CFM is a very big player but they have ~40% of the commercial aircraft engine market. And Boeing and Airbus may be the two big airframe manufacturers but there are also regional jet manufacturers. None of the airframe manufactures pick the engines, the customers do. They do design/certify their airframes for compatibility with the engines.
So they’re kind of all one and the same?
