©KLM E&M and Air Canada mark a new milestone with the renewal of a multi-year GE90 support contract

The historic cooperation between AFI KLM E&M and Air Canada marks new milestones with the renewal of a multi-year GE90 support contract. The original contract was signed in 2010, mobilising a package of repair and maintenance services specially adapted to meet the Canadian airline’s requirements for the GE90-115B engines on its fleet of Boeing 777s. Through this extended engine support contract, the solutions delivered by AFI KLM E&M include shop visits, LRU support, provision of spare engines and on-wing/on-site support.

Air Canada’s decision to extend and expand its relationship with AFI KLM E&M constitutes a mark of confidence and satisfaction regarding the support solutions designed and implemented by the airline-MRO provider, which bases its service approach on attentiveness and close-knit relationships with the customer.
