CIT Group (now TYCO) did not specify the CFM56 engine. BA ordered the PW6000; the V2500 is not offered on the A318. The GATX/Flightlease order has been cancelled. ILFC has cancelled 2 and converted 8 to other A320 family aircraft. The A318/PW6000 was supposed to enter into service within a year. Now, Air France will be first to receive the A318 with the CFM56 engine probably by the middle of next year.
