Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance (AFI KLM E&M) has renewed its component maintenance agreement with low-cost carrier Cebu Pacific for an additional 10 years, covering the airline’s A320/A321 ceo and neo fleet.

The contract also includes the implementation of the Prognos® predictive maintenance system, powered by AFI KLM E&M, for Cebu Pacific’s components and APUs.

AFI KLM E&M says the collaboration plays a pivotal role in strengthening its position as a leading MRO provider in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly on the A320 platform.

Cebu Pacific, which recently placed the largest aircraft order in the Philippines’ history with 102 confirmed and 50 optional A320/A321neo aircraft, continues to scale up its operations.

In line with this contract extension, AFI KLM E&M will also be expanding its local footprint. The development of its warehouse and MRO shop in Singapore will be accelerated, enhancing its inventory and service capabilities to better support Cebu Pacific Air and other clients in the Asia-Pacific region.

Shevantha Weerasekera, vice president of engineering and fleet management at Cebu Pacific, said: “We are thrilled to extend our agreement with AFI KLM E&M for the support of our A320/A321 fleet. Their exceptional expertise and reliable service have been instrumental in maintaining our high standards of operational efficiency. This extended contract signifies our mutual commitment to delivering safe and seamless travel experiences for our passengers.”

Géry Mortreux, executive vice president at Air France Industries, said: “This agreement reaffirms our dedication to providing top-notch maintenance solutions and underscores our role as a trusted partner in Cebu Pacific’s growth and success in the aviation industry.”
