Nile Air has awarded AFI KLM E&M a component support contract covering its fleet of six A320-200s.

AFI KLM E&M will provide a solutions package covering a range of components, including accessories and LRUs for CFM56-5B and IAE V2500 engines.

In addition to repairs, the services provided to Nile Air will include access to a spare parts pool and the availability of a Main Base Kit (MBK) within local reach of the customer’s facilities.

Commenting on the contract, Nile Air’s CEO Mohamed Nagy underlined “the proximity and positive relations between our two groups. During our previous co-operations, the AFI KLM E&M teams have proven their ability to design and implement high-performance solutions adapted to our precise needs. There’s no doubt that their A320 component support will bring tangible added value to our operations, helping to ensure optimal availability for our fleet.”

Géry Mortreux, EVP Air France Industries, said: “We’re very proud that Nile Air is calling in our services once again, and are fully committed to providing top-flight support to help sustain the development of this young and dynamic airline. Nile Air’s choice is all the more gratifying because it illustrates our teams’ ability to build quality relationships, on a foundation of confidence and attentiveness over the long term.”
