Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance (AFI KLM E&M) Components China has joined Liebherr’s service network in China.

Under the agreement, AFI KLM E&M Components China becomes the dedicated partner and repair centre in charge of MRO services for the electronic controllers on board Airbus A320 and A330 programmes. The controllers have been designed and manufactured by Liebherr.

AFI KLM E&M Components China will provide test, repair and overhaul on the relevant Liebherr products, including during the OEM warranty period.

The two companies said they could now offer “tailored solutions and reliable local repair services” on the Liebherr products to Airbus operators in China. They will also seek to extend their cooperation as the Airbus fleet in China continues to grow.

“Both parties are driven by common long-term support commitment in China, combining OEM expertise, MRO service and local support,” said Liebherr-Aerospace & Transportation’s director business & service – customer services Joël Cadaux.

AFI KLM E&M Components China’s CEO Paul Sun commented: “This agreement highlights our expertise and our reliability as a company affiliated to an airline MRO. It demonstrates the recognition of our service quality meeting the best standard and requirements.”
