AFI KLM E&M and GMF sign major component maintenance partnership

Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance and Garuda Maintenance Facility AeroAsia (GMF), a leading supplier of MRO services in South East Asia, have signed component maintenance contracts enabling AFI KLM E&M to subcontract component repairs to GMF. These contracts were signed as a next step in the co-operation whereby GMF signed two long term support agreement with AFI KLM E&M last year. One covering component support for 10 777-300ERs and the other for component support of 78 737s operated by Indonesian flag-carrier Garuda Indonesia. The support services provided by AFI KLM E&M include component repair, access to a spares pool, and the creation and provision of a local main base kit at the client’s facility in Jakarta. The newly signed agreements will allow AFI KLM E&M to start using the growing GMF component repair capabilities not only for certain component repairs related to the support agreements for the Garuda fleet but also for other operators in the region.
