Malaysia Airlines, the national carrier of Malaysia has extended its long-running component support agreement with AFI KLM E&M covering its fleet of Boeing Next-Generation 737-800 aircraft. The original agreement was planned to cover 35 aircraft. The support provided by AFI KLM E&M covers 54 aircraft and will involve a wider range of Part Numbers (P/N). The Malaysian Carrier has also extended the agreement duration for the coming years.
The component support solutions offered to Malaysia Airlines are put into operation through the Component Services Programme (CSP) operated mutually by AFI KLM E&M and Boeing. Services include component repair and access to the local and main AFI KLM E&M spares pools in Kuala Lumpur and Amsterdam.
Paul Kear, technical director of Malaysia Airlines, said, “The support implemented by AFI KLM E&M for our fleet of 737-800s stands out both for its service quality and its responsiveness. The Group has deployed tailored solutions, guaranteeing our operational continuity, so it was a logical decision to extend our cooperation.”
Ton Dortmans, executive vice president of KLM E&M, added, “We are delighted to see that Malaysia Airlines has maintained and even extended its trust in AFI KLM E&M services. This testifies to the quality of our services and foregrounds our ability to provide services backed by a global logistics network built around local facilities on our clients’ doorsteps.”
