Fokker Services Group (FSG), a global provider of aircraft maintenance, modifications, completions, and conversions, and Red Sea Airlines, an Egyptian carrier operating both scheduled and charter flights, have announced the expansion of Red Sea Airlines' participation in FSG's Boeing 737NG nose-to-tail programme during MRO Americas in Atlanta, GA. With the addition of two more Boeing 737-800 aircraft, Red Sea has now doubled its involvement in the programme compared to the original agreement signed in October 2024.
As part of the programme, FSG will continue supporting a wide range of components—including IDGs, engine accessories, hydraulic actuators, valves, cockpit controls, instruments, and more—while further investing in inventory to strengthen its expanding Boeing 737NG nose-to-tail offering, now serving a growing number of legacy Boeing operators.
Hazem Soltan, Technical Services and Contract Manager at Red Sea Airlines, commented: “When we launched the initial phase of this programme, we had high expectations—and FSG delivered. Their reliability and flexibility have been key in ensuring component availability for our high-utilisation business model. This early success gave us the confidence to double down on our commitment within just six months. We see FSG as a long-term partner, and we expect this programme to keep growing alongside our ambitious fleet expansion in the years ahead.”
Leon Kouters, Vice President Sales & Marketing at FSG, added: “The impressive pace and scale of Red Sea Airlines' fleet growth in such a short timeframe is truly commendable. We are proud to play a role in supporting their high-utilisation operational model as a trusted partner.”
