The French Polynesia airline Air Tahiti Nui has entrusted AFI KLM E&M with the maintenance of the APS5000 auxiliary power units (APU) equipping its fleet of four Boeing 787-9 aircraft. The long-term contract includes repair and overhaul support, as well as the leasing of a spare APU when needed. All the work will be carried out by EPCOR, a wholly-owned subsidiary and part of AFI KLM E&M's global MRO network.
The contract is the latest development in a strong partnership between Air Tahiti Nui and AFI KLM E&M, which also provides component, engine and line maintenance services for the Polynesian carrier's Dreamliners.
