Aerospace engine aftermarket services firm, StandardAero, has been selected by Mauritania Airlines to provide MRO support for the CFM56-7B and LEAP-1B turbofan engines powering its fleet of Boeing 737NG and Boeing 737 MAX 8 narrowbody aircraft.

StandardAero has already inducted an initial Mauritania Airlines CFM56-7B engine at its Winnipeg, MB location, and a maiden LEAP-1B engine at its San Antonio facility.

These shop visits extend the flag carrier airline of Mauritania’s relationship with StandardAero, which has previously provided APS 2300 APU repair services from its Maryville, TN, facility in support of the airline’s Embraer E175 fleet.

Guillaume Limouzy, airline sales director for StandardAero’s airlines and fleet business unit, said: “We know how critical it is for smaller fleet operators to be able to rely on their partners for responsive, timely support, and we are grateful for Mauritania Airlines for having entrusted us with their MRO needs, extending the existing relationship between the two companies.”

Founded in 2010, Mauritania Airlines is the leading carrier in Western Africa, serving 14 destinations across Africa and Europe from its base at Nouakchott-Oumtounsy International Airport in Mauritania’s capital city of Nouakchott.

The airline operates a fleet which includes one Boeing 737-700, one Boeing 737-800, one Boeing 737 MAX 8, two Embraer E175s and one Embraer ERJ-145.

Mauritania Airlines has been adding to its fleet to help to profitably grow its network as the carrier seeks to introduce new routes to Europe and the Middle East.

The agreement was announced during the Aviation Week MRO Europe 2025 event in London.
