Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance (AFI KLM E&M) has signed a multi-year agreement with Air Corsica to support the airline’s LEAP-1A engine fleet.
The agreement covers nine LEAP-1A engines supporting Air Corsica’s Airbus A320neo operations and extends a maintenance partnership between the companies spanning several decades.
AFI KLM E&M already provides CFM56-5B engine maintenance and component support for Air Corsica’s Airbus A320ceo and A320neo fleet.
The latest agreement extends that relationship to the airline’s new-generation engine fleet as it continues its transition to the A320neo.
Martijn de Vries, senior vice president commercial at AFI KLM E&M, said: “We are proud to further strengthen our long-standing partnership with Air Corsica through this new LEAP-1A engine support agreement.
“For decades, we have worked together across multiple maintenance solutions, and extending our collaboration to their next-generation engine fleet is a significant milestone for both organisations.
“This agreement reflects the trust Air Corsica places in our teams, our technical expertise and our growing LEAP capabilities. We look forward to supporting their operations for many years to come.”
Hervé Pierret, member of the management board at Air Corsica, said: “For decades, AFI KLM E&M has been a trusted partner, supporting the reliability of our operations as our fleet has evolved.
“As we continue modernising with the Airbus A320neo, extending our collaboration to include LEAP-1A engine support is a logical progression of that long-standing relationship.
“Having a partner that understands our operational requirements gives us confidence that we can continue delivering the high levels of reliability and service our passengers expect.”
