EPCOR B.V., part of the Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance (AFI KLM E&M) centre of excellence for Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) repairs, components, asset management services and predictive maintenance, has signed a new long-term agreement to support Air Canada’s GTCP131-9A APU fleet.
The agreement marks a new chapter in the long-standing partnership between the two companies, expanding their collaboration to include support for an additional APU platform.
Under the contract, Air Canada will become one of EPCOR’s key customers for the GTCP131-9A APU, which is installed across the Airbus A320 family of aircraft. The deal reflects EPCOR’s continued commitment to supporting Air Canada’s fleet expansion and modernisation programme, coinciding with the introduction of the airline’s new Airbus A321XLR aircraft.
Josh Vanderveen, Vice President, Maintenance at Air Canada, said: “Air Canada is pleased to continue and expand its long-standing partnership with EPCOR, building on more than a decade of collaboration. This new agreement reinforces our commitment to reliability and operational excellence across our Airbus A320 fleet, helping us continue to deliver world-class service to our customers.”
