Comair renews 737NG component support contract with AFI KLM E&M

AFI KLM E&M renewed its contract with Johannesburg based airline operator, Comair Limited. AFI KLM E&M has been maintaining Comair’s fleet for a number of years and the long-term renewal of the contract covers component repair, the supply of a main base kit, and access to the AFI KLM E&M spares pool. Comair currently operates an all-Boeing fleet of 737 Classic and Next-Generation 737s on both its kulula and British Airways (operated by Comair) brands. Comair continues to upgrade its fleet and has already taken delivery of five aircraft from its current order for eight Boeing Next-Generation 737-800 aircraft, and the remaining three will be delivered late 2015 and early 2016. Comair has also placed an order for eight Boeing 737 MAX’s, making Comair the first African airline operator to order the new 737 MAX.
