Aeroitalia has enlisted AFI KLM E&M’s expertise on the 737 product to support the launch of its commercial aviation operations.
AFI KLM E&M will provide component support for the young airline’s fleet of four Boeing 737-800s. The company will implement a range of services including components repair, access to a spare parts pool, logistical support and the provision of local component stocks.
With its expert solutions, combining the operator perspective with the skill set of an MRO services supplier, AFI KLM E&M delivers component support adapted to the operational challenges of each individual operator, from the “big players” to aviation start-ups such as Aeroitalia.
“Our dedicated maintenance solutions for the 737 and 737NG are based on a long history of cooperation with a large number of airlines, and are designed to support the needs of each operator in an adaptive way, regardless of their profile or fleet size," said Ton Dortmans, EVP KLM Engineering & Maintenance. "We’re delighted to be sharing our expertise with Aeroitalia, and to stand by their side as they write the first chapters in their history.”
“For a young airline, being able to rely on the experience of a major and historic player in aviation maintenance such as AFI KLM E&M is a token of confidence and peace of mind," said Gaetano Intrieri, CEO of Aeroitalia. "In addition to the reliability of performance levels their service package provides, the attention paid to our needs and limitations was just as important in order to ensure that we would benefit from a mixture of solutions that was optimally adapted to our operational needs.”
