Royal Jordanian, the Jordanian flag carrier has decided to renew the contract signed in 2011 with AFI KLM E&M covering component support for its Airbus A330s. The agreement includes repairs and access to the spares pool on a flight hour basis.The special feature of this contract is that it is set to run until the scheduled retirement of the aircraft from the Royal Jordanian fleet. In the meantime, Royal Jordanian will not only benefit from AFI KLM E&M expertise on the A330 product, but also from its experience of phase outs and major compliance issues in connection with components of aircraft retired from a commercial fleet.
Air China Cargo, the freight specialist arm of Chinese flag carrier Air China, just inked an exclusive long-term engine support contract with AFI KLM E&M covering its fleet of Boeing 777 freighters. Six of the projected eight-strong fleet are already in revenue service and two more are due to join the fleet in September. The contract extends the 2014 partnership deal between Air China and AFI KLM E&M, which was entrusted with exclusive full support of the Chinese carrier’s 777 aircraft engines.
