Reunion-based carrier Air Austral has sealed a support agreement with maintenance firm Sabena Technics covering its Boeing 737 fleet.

The five-year pact has been disclosed during the Dubai Air Show, where the carrier also firmed orders for two Airbus A380s.

Sabena Technics says the 737 deal covers component repair, wheels and brake support, and auxiliary power unit work.

Air Austral operates a 737-500 and 737-300. The maintenance agreement comes into effect from 24 November.
