AFI KLM E&M and China Eastern Airlines have signed a new component support contract for the Chinese company’s Boeing 787-9 fleet, which will eventually include 15 aircraft. The agreement covers repair services, access to a regional spare parts pool as well as the provision of a local parts stock, and additional services in the field of training and industrial development support.

 

According to a report in Air Cosmos International, AFI KLM E&M plans to develop a regional Boeing 787 spare parts pool in Shanghai for this purpose, in order to meet the needs of China Eastern Airlines and other future customers.

 

Air France-KLM and China Eastern Airlines have also announced their intention to extend their joint venture partnership as from 2019.

 

With this new agreement, the three SkyTeam alliance member airlines (Air France, KLM and China Eastern Airlines) will cooperate on two additional routes operated on a code-share basis – Paris-Wuhan and Paris-Kunming.
