Icelandair expands maintenance partnership with MAEL

Independent MRO provider Monarch Aircraft Engineering (MAEL), has won an expanded maintenance commitment from Icelandair. Icelandair, which has been a MAEL customer since 2003, has increased its current maintenance commitment to include base maintenance for a fifth aircraft – a Boeing 757 heavy check to take place at MAEL’s Luton facility.
MAEL has carried out a check for Icelandair’s B757 freighter aircraft last November and currently has the second of three planned B767-300 aircraft in maintenance at its Luton facility.
Since becoming an independent MRO provider in October 2017, MAEL has announced a wide range of new agreements with airlines. In addition to Icelandair, these include Virgin Atlantic Airways, China Airlines, Wizz Air and La Compagnie.
