Sabena technics and Liebherr-Aerospace have signed a ten-year Pay-By-Hour (PBH) maintenance agreement covering the new air management system (NAMS) component repairs for all ATR42/72-600 aircraft fleets supported by the European MRO.
The new air management system developed and manufactured by Liebherr-Aerospace, has entered into service at the end of 2020 on ATR's 42/72 aircraft family. The regional aircraft program will benefit from this highly reliable system as it generates and enhances on-board comfort for passengers and crew while substantially reducing operations' costs.
Through this ten-year agreement, Liebherr-Aerospace will be handling the comprehensive product support and services for Sabena technics' operators through a back-to-back contract. The support services will be performed by Liebherr-Aerospace's service stations in the Toulouse (France), center of excellence for air management systems, and Liebherr-Aerospace's service stations in Singapore and Saline, Michigan (U.S.A.).
