Cebu Pacific Air expands its component support contract with Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance (AFI KLM E&M) to include seven (7) A321ceo and 32 A321neo aircraft. This is on top of the component support agreement signed last year between Cebu Pacific and AFI KLM E&M covering its fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft.
AFI KLM E&M is proud to support the expansion of one of the most profitable low-cost carriers in the world that operates in rapidly-growing markets in the Asia-Pacific region. The array of services provided under the long-term contract includes component repairs from Europe and Singapore, as well as access to local spares pool.
The contract extension bolsters AFI KLM E&M’s leadership position across the region, embodied in particular through its local joint-venture with Sabena technics, Singapore Component Solutions (SCS), a component repair shop launched in September 2016.
Operating out of Seletar international airport, with some 6,500sq.m.of repair facilities, SCS is one of the region’s leading multi-product and multi-fleet players. It has become one of the most efficient and responsive MROs in the region, backed by regional logistics centers, parts inventories, and technical expertise of its parent firms. SCS specializes in repairs for A320, A330, ATR and Fokker 100 fleets with a comprehensive offering for avionics, mechanical and pneumatic components, along with aerostructure and cabin and safety components.
Fabrice Defrance, Senior Vice President Commercial AFI KLM E&M, said, “In 2017, Cebu Pacific Air signed its first contract with us. They are thus a recent customer and it is a great honor for us to have been able to rapidly convince the airline of our expertise and efficiency. We have taken up a challenge by demonstrating our ability to adapt to its ambitious fleet plan and operating imperatives in very short order.”
In response to this demonstration of trust and to ensure complete satisfaction of the Philippines airline’s expectations, AFI KLM E&M demonstrated its fast-track response capabilities immediately after the contract extension as it sought to secure operations and integrate the new A321s in the shortest possible time.
