GE90 Engine Support: Air Canada Extends Contract With AFI KLM E&M

Paris, Amstelveen, 13 September 2013 – AFI KLM E&M was awarded the contract to support Air Canada’s eleven new GE90 engines associated with the carrier’s five new Boeing 777s.

Leading GE90 solutions
Air Canada chose AFI KLM E&M in March 2010 to provide exclusive support for its GE90 engines, with a total of 39 engines for 18 aircraft. The contract covers a broad array of tailor-made solutions, from on-site and on-wing operations to shop visits, engine component support, provision of spare engines, and engineering services. The airline based its choice on the proven expertise of AFI KLM E&M, a major GE90 MRO supplier already supporting close to 340 engines of this type on the behalf of 11 major customer airlines across the world.

Community of minds and interests
The first GE90 engine complete performance restoration was accomplished by AFI KLM E&M and met all Air Canada’s requirements under the GE90 engine support contract.

Alan Butterfield, Air Canada Vice President, Maintenance & Engineering said: “We are extremely satisfied with the relationship we have had with AFI KLM E&M relating to their support of our current GE90 engines. We share the same ?airline-minded’ culture, and we are pleased to extend this contract to support our new GE90s.”
