"It is important for us to start our operations with the highest level of quality," said Gabriela Sommerfeld, CEO from Equair. "This is why we have chosen a leading MRO solution, which guarantees the availability of parts and thus the availability of our fleet for the benefit of our customers.”
"The creation of a new company is always good news, and we are very happy to welcome Equair among the global air transport family," said EVP KLM Engineering & Maintenance, Ton Dortmans. "We are also very honored by the trust they have placed in us to support their components...
