AFI KLM E&M has announced the extension of its partnership with Shenzhen Airlines and its subsidiary, Kunming Airlines. The renewed collaboration follows the signing of a new three-year engine maintenance agreement covering the period from 2025 to 2027. Under the contract, AFI KLM E&M will deliver full maintenance support for CFM56-7B engines.
This agreement marks a major step forward in the strong relationship between AFI KLM E&M and Shenzhen Airlines Company, a state-owned carrier based in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China. Founded in 1992, Shenzhen Airlines has grown into one of the country’s top five airlines. Its fleet of more than 200 aircraft connects nearly all provincial capitals and major cities in China, as well as destinations in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan (China), the United Kingdom, Spain, Qatar, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia.
AFI KLM E&M began supporting Shenzhen Airlines more than a decade ago, providing high-quality CFM56-7B engine maintenance services. The MRO group’s consistent delivery on turnaround times and quality standards has built lasting trust and paved the way for this new agreement.
All engine maintenance will be carried out at the renowned KLM Engine Services facilities in Amsterdam. These facilities combine advanced technical capabilities with extensive experience in CFM56-7B engine maintenance.
This latest contract strengthens AFI KLM E&M’s global reputation as a reliable MRO partner. The company remains focused on delivering operational excellence, technical innovation, and long-term value for its airline customers worldwide.
