New contract strengthens operational performance and reinforces longstanding partnership
Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance (AFI KLM E&M) and Air Europa are pleased to announce the signing of a new long-term contract for comprehensive maintenance support of Air Europa’s Boeing 787 aircraft. This agreement, effective from March 1st, 2024, highlights AFI KLM E&M’s commitment to delivering strong value and service excellence. It reinforces the longstanding relationship between the two companies, that extends from Maintenance to the passenger activity through code-share agreements and being members of SkyTeam alliance.
The new contract is a significant milestone, underscoring AFI KLM E&M's reliability and extensive expertise in supporting the Spanish airline’s flagship aircraft. The agreement includes the establishment of a Main Base Kit in Madrid, dedicated to Air Europa's Boeing 787 fleet. This strategic move not only enhances operational performance but also demonstrates AFI KLM E&M's dedication to supporting Air Europa with superior component support.
The agreement also marks a significant expansion of AFI KLM E&M's footprint in Spain.

This new contract with Air Europa further solidifies AFI KLM E&M's position as a leading maintenance provider in the region.
"Partnering with AFI KLM E&M for the maintenance support of our Boeing 787 fleet is a strategic move that aligns with our commitment to providing high-quality service and reliability to our passengers," said Pedro Macias, Air Europa's Chief Technical Officer.
