Ryanair has announced its expansion in Amman, confirming a five-year heavy maintenance agreement with Joramco, the MRO provider based in Jordan and the engineering arm of Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE). This agreement will further extend the partnership and will see the airline utilising up to six heavy-maintenance lines at its facility in Amman, Jordan where Joramco is set to conduct 41 checks during this winter season.
This agreement ensures that the airline has continued flexibility as to where it places its aircraft for the upcoming maintenance season. The 110,000 m² facility will facilitate the heavy maintenance of Ryanair's aircraft as the airline grows its fleet to 800 aircraft, incl. the recent 300 Boeing MAX-10 order, which will see the airline grow to carry over 300-million passengers per year by 2034.
Ryanair uses a mix of internal facilities and external suppliers to conduct its heavy maintenance. The airline group continues to invest in internal heavy-maintenance facilities and this agreement will complement these facilities and ensure the maintenance requirements are more than met over the coming years.
This agreement is testament to the vision and dedication of the Ryanair heavy maintenance management team and the excellent services delivered by the entire team at Joramco. We look forward to growing and enhancing the relationship in Jordan and delivering amazing opportunities for both the local workforce in Jordan and Ryanair's customers”, commented Fraser Currie, Joramco's Chief Executive Officer.
