Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance Components China and AvtechTyee have signed an industrial cooperation agreement.

It means the Shanghai-based AFI KLM E&M subsidiary becomes the authorised repair shop of AvtechTyee in mainland China, supporting the OEM aftermarket services on its products.

In addition to test, repair and overhaul services, AFI KLM E&M Components China offers local MRO Solutions from avionics modification to OEM warranty management.

“AvtechTyee is always looking for ways to offer fast and reliable MRO support to our airlines customers in China mainland, while maintaining our high OEM quality standards,” said AvtechTyee VP sales and marketing Kevin Hanson.

“We see AFI KLM E&M Components China as a mature and dedicated partner that can help us achieve that goal.”

The partners noted that the cooperation would allow them both “to explore future market needs”.

AFI KLM E&M Components China’s CEO Paul Sun commented: “This agreement reflects our deep understanding of the market needs as a subsidiary of the airline-MRO. It reflects the high service level provided by AFI KLM E&M Components China’s experienced technicians.”
