Yemenia Airways has extended the component support contract it signed with AFI KLM E&M in 2005. This follows a thorough post-revolution review of the airlines contracts and commitments
In a statement, the Air France-KLM venture said that the contract was originally due to terminate in 2013 and although the airline is said to be very satisfied with the high quality maintenance performance of AFI KLM E&M, the economic crisis which has severely affected Yemen since early 2011, led Yemenia Airways to review its MRO contracts.
According to the Paris-based firm, the terms of the extended contract are the same as those of the original one, covering component support with pool access and repairs for two Airbus 330s. "We have several advantages over our competitors, namely our good relations with Yemenia Airways, our in-depth knowledge of the customer and, most importantly, our ability to adjust our offering and pricing to satisfy the customer's needs as closely as possible," said Fabrice Defrance, senior vice president commercial AFI KLM E&M. Hassan Al-Huthi, director maintenance & engineering Yemenia Airways said it was the "excellent service quality" which prompted the airline to renew its trust in the MRO.
