TP Aerospace has announced an extended long-term agreement with K-Mile Air, Thailand's express cargo airline, to provide a comprehensive wheels and brakes programme for the airline's fleet, including B737CL and B737NG aircraft. This agreement is an all-inclusive, cost-per-landing arrangement that simplifies maintenance and reduces operational costs, reflecting TP Aerospace's commitment to support airlines throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
This programme integrates TP Aerospace's expertise directly with K-Mile's operations, marking a strategic move to reinforce the company's presence in Thailand and neighbouring countries. Philip Broskov Hansen, TP Aerospace's Global Program Director, said that the renewal underscores the company's dedication to financially and operationally beneficial services for airlines in the region.
Since 2019, TP Aerospace has maintained an MRO facility near Suvarnabhumi International Airport, K-Mile Air's main operational hub. This facility will serve as the base for the updated cost-per-landing programme, allowing streamlined service close to K-Mile's operations.
K-Mile Air, established in 2004 and operating since 2006, has become a prominent cargo service provider in the express freight sector across Southeast Asia. Operating both scheduled and chartered flights with a diverse fleet that includes B737-400F, B737-800F and B767-300F aircraft, K-Mile services a broad network covering Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore, Bangladesh and China.
This renewed partnership aligns with TP Aerospace's strategy to expand its footprint in Asia and underscores its role as a trusted partner in regional aviation logistics, ensuring operational efficiency and reliability for K-Mile as it continues to grow in the express cargo industry.
