Safran Nacelles and Sky Airline, the Chilean low-cost carrier, have signed a multi-year service agreement for the airline’s Airbus A320neo-family fleet, powered by CFM International LEAP-1A turbofan engines.
Under this agreement, Sky Airline gains access to a comprehensive shared pool of large nacelle components at any given time, ensuring swift resolution of any in-service issues. Furthermore, the nacelles will undergo maintenance and repairs at the Safran Nacelles Services Americas MRO station in Indianapolis, U.S.A. Additionally, the airline will benefit from Safran’s expertise and know-how as the designer and manufacturer (OEM) of the A320neo nacelle, for engineering repair solutions and training maintenance operators.
Alain Berger, Safran Nacelles’ Executive Vice President – Customer Support and Services, commented: “We are very proud to be Sky Airline‘s partner for their growing A320neo fleet. As being the A320neo full-nacelle designer, our teams are ensuring to our customer the highest levels of quality services which contribute to their efficient operations.”
Safran Nacelles’ services form a crucial component of the company’s NacelleLife™ support programme, which ensures responsive, cost-effective, and high-quality services to keep airliners in operational condition while minimising costs.
