Norwegian, Boeing ink 787 GoldCare agreement


Norwegian Air Shuttle (DY) signed a 12-year GoldCare maintenance agreement with Boeing for the six 787-8s it has on order.
The airline selected GoldCare Enterprise, which encompasses the complete parts, engineering and maintenance solution. Norwegian also selected the line maintenance option through the GoldCare MRO network, in which Boeing manages scheduled and minor maintenance that is conducted between flights and overnight. It is the first customer for this option, Boeing said.
“Boeing has by far the best knowledge about the new 787 Dreamliner. For Norwegian it is fundamental that we have the best maintenance program when we launch our long-haul operation. Norwegian and Boeing have clear and common goals when it comes to proving what this aircraft is able to deliver, both in terms of operational excellence and customer experience,” DY chief operating officer Asgeir Nyseth said. 
“GoldCare builds on our long relationship with this important customer—Norwegian already operates our Maintenance Performance Toolbox and is our largest customer for both our 737 component services and landing gear exchange programs,” said Boeing senior VP-Commercial Aviation Services Lou Mancini.
