Did you mean engine manufacturers? CFM is still running behind engine deliveries, forcing Airbus to put aircraft into temporary storage until engine arrive.

Only in the closing days of last year was Airbus awarded Chinese certification for its new A321neo with Pratt & Whitney engines, the company said. That approval came nearly a year after many of the planes on order had already been made. Both A320neo and A321neo jets with CFM International engines have yet to win Chinese approval.

Without CAAC certification for the CFM powered A320neo, this aircraft won't be going anywhere soon.

Will it work if they just stuck on CEO engines, disregarding certifications?
