De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited (De Havilland Canada) has extended its Maintenance Plus (M+) agreement with the Ministry of Defence, Republic of Croatia.

Under the agreement, the Canadian aircraft manufacturer will manage component MRO services for Croatia’s fleet of six CL-415 aircraft and provide access to De Havilland Canada’s exchange pool.

Originally signed in 2019, the M+ programme term will now extend through 2025.

Leighton Storsley, vice-president aftermarket and business development at De Havilland Canada, said: “We are delighted to continue supporting the Ministry of Defence, Republic of Croatia with our M+ programme, and we look forward to enhancing Croatia’s operation well into the future.”

M+ is a customisable programme that will be used as a predictive and effective solution for the CL-415 fleet.

Storsley added: “It is designed to allow operators to focus on the missionised nature of the business while we take care of their component management requirements.”

De Havilland Canada states that its M+ programme ensures cost predictability and grants operators access to technical expertise for warranty administration, planning, and supplier management, enhancing budgetary management for operators.
