Kuwait Airways has forged a new agreement with Jordanian maintenance firm JorAMCo covering heavy maintenance services for long-haul aircraft.

Under the agreement JorAMCo - which has facilities at Amman - will provide heavy maintenance to five Airbus A300-600s and three A310s. This work includes C-checks, cabin refurbishment and aircraft painting.

JorAMCo says the agreement is "valid for a number of years" and lays out possible expansion of services to Kuwait Airways' fleet as it develops.
