Effective from March 1, 2024, this agreement underscores AFI KLM E&M’s commitment to delivering exceptional value and service excellence. It also strengthens the longstanding relationship between the two companies, which extends from maintenance to passenger activities through codeshare agreements and their membership in the SkyTeam alliance.
Strengthening ties and expanding footprint
This new contract represents a significant milestone, showcasing AFI KLM E&M’s reliability and extensive expertise in supporting the Spanish airline’s flagship aircraft. The agreement includes the establishment of a Main Base Kit in Madrid, specifically dedicated to Air Europa’s Boeing 787 fleet. This strategic initiative not only enhances operational performance but also reflects AFI KLM E&M’s commitment to providing superior component support to Air Europa.
Furthermore, this contract marks a considerable expansion of AFI KLM E&M’s presence in Spain. The company currently supports several Spanish operators across a variety of aircraft types, including the A320, A330 and A350, and provides APU maintenance as well as base maintenance for a large fleet of A320s. This new agreement with Air Europa further solidifies AFI KLM E&M’s position as a leading maintenance provider in the region.
“Partnering with AFI KLM E&M for the maintenance support of our Boeing 787 fleet is a strategic move that aligns with our commitment to providing high-quality service and reliability to our passengers,” said Pedro Macias, Air Europa’s Chief Technical Officer. “We look forward to building on our nearly 20-year cooperation and achieving new heights together.”
