ATR signs 12-year Global Maintenance Agreement with PNG Air

Papua New Guinea’s airline, PNG Air, formerly Airlines PNG, and ATR have signed a comprehensive long-term Global Maintenance agreement (GMA) providing a total support package for the airline’s fleet of ATR 72-600 aircraft. The airline has recently received one aircraft, with further six to join the fleet within two years. The GMA contract will run over twelve years and covers a large scope of component overhaul and engineering services. They include repair and overhaul of Line Replaceable Units (LRU), maintenance of propellers, landing gear and leading edges. The support package also provides pooling services at ATR base Singapore and on-site stock access at airline’s home base in Port Moresby. The component supply and logistics will be realized via the ATR facilities in Singapore to and from Port Moresby.
