Delta TechOps has secured its first third-party LEAP-1B maintenance contract for the engines powering Korean Air’s Boeing 737 MAX fleet. The agreement marks an important achievement, reinforcing Delta TechOps’ position as a leading provider of advanced MRO solutions.
“We have great confidence in Delta TechOps’ world-class technical expertise and maintenance quality, and we expect this agreement to further enhance our collaboration across the full spectrum of MRO,” said Jongseok Yoo, EVP and Chief Safety and Operating Officer at Korean Air. “This LEAP-1B engine agreement is a testament to our mutual focus on achieving the highest standards of operational assurance for our next-generation fleet.”
The rapid expansion of LEAP-1B-powered fleets is creating a rising demand for sophisticated maintenance solutions, and Delta TechOps is well positioned to support operators across the globe. “As airlines transition to next-generation aircraft, the need for advanced engine maintenance is surging,” said Alain Bellemare, EVP – President of International and Chairman – Delta MRO. “Delta TechOps’ LEAP-1B expertise demonstrates our ability to meet this demand with unmatched proficiency — setting the standard for technical mastery and innovation in the global MRO industry.”
This new contract strengthens the long-standing maintenance relationship between Delta TechOps and Korean Air. The organisation has previously provided CF6 engine support for Asiana Airlines, a Korean Air subsidiary, further underscoring its capability to deliver high-quality, reliable MRO services for leading international carriers.
