Dublin-based aircraft leasing company Avolon said Tuesday that it has placed an order with a nominal value of $2.06 billion for LEAP-1A engines from engine maker CFM International.

CFM International--a joint venture between General Electric Co.'s (GE) aviation subsidiary and SAFRAN SA's (SAF.FR) engines division--will supply engines to power 70 Airbus (AIR.FR) A320neo aircraft, it said.

Avolon said the contract represents its largest-ever engine order.
