The European Aviation Safety Agency has granted approval to Air France Industries KLM Engineering and Maintenance to perform line maintenance on Airbus A350s, the MRO provider announces.
The company says the approval builds on its efforts to provide maintenance on other latest-generation aircraft, specifically the Boeing 787.
“The group's A350 MRO offering benefits from the unique experience and earlier investment in new-generation aircraft fleets operating similar technology, like the A380 and the Boeing 787, for which the AFI KLM E&M offering has already been taken up by several major airlines,” says AFI KLM E&M in a media release.
“AFI KLM E&M will deploy its A350 capability across its global network to meet the needs of operating airlines, including Air France KLM fleets," the company adds.
AFI KLM E&M has already provided technical assistance to an A350 customer in Rome, and has contracted with Vietnam Airlines to provide that carrier with A350 line maintenance at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport, the company says.
