AirAsia X and AFI KLM E&M extend A330 component support contract

Long-standing partners AirAsia X and AFI KLM E&M have extended the Malaysian budget carrier’s A330-300 component support contract, originally signed in 2007. The new agreement involves extending the exclusive component support provided by AFI KLM E&M until the A330s are retired from the Air Asia X fleet, with an option to include additional aircraft in the scope of the agreement, as and when required by the airline. The services provided include repair, pool access, and related logistic services. Extended previously to include a number of additional aircraft, this latest agreement testifies to the strength of AirAsia X’s relationship with AFI KLM E&M, which has supported the low-cost carrier since it began operations in 2007. Since that time, this pioneering partnership has extended to the AirAsia Group, with AFI KLM E&M now also providing component support services for the AirAsia fleet of A320neo’s.
