Air Austral renews contract with AFI KLM E&M for 777 fleet support

After signing an agreement in February covering extended support for Air Austral’s 787s, AFI KLM E&M and the Réunion-based airline have closed a deal for total care for the carrier’s Boeing 777s, which are already receiving AFI KLM E&M support. The services covered by the contract include Airframe/Engineering maintenance, plus Engine, APU and Component services, together with additional support services for phase out/phase in operations. Component services support will be carried out under the joint AFI KLM E&M and Boeing 777 Component Services Program (CSP). AFI KLM E&M and Air Austral have worked together for close to ten years, especially on support for the Réunion carrier’s 777s.
