EPCOR BV, the Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance (AFI KLM E&M) centre of excellence for the repair of APUs and components, and Norse Atlantic Airways have signed a long-term comprehensive repair and maintenance agreement for the Norwegian low-cost long-haul airline’s fleet of 12 Boeing 787 Dreamliners powered by the APS5000 APU.

The agreement marks the first collaboration between the two firms and by leveraging EPCOR’s extensive experience and technical expertise, Norse Atlantic Airways will benefit from enhanced operational reliability, minimised aircraft downtime, and greater predictability in maintenance costs.

Rob van de Graaf, commercial director at EPCOR, said: “This agreement highlights our shared commitment to operational excellence and reliability. By combining EPCOR’s technical expertise with Norse Atlantic’s innovative approach to long-haul travel, we look forward to contributing to their continued growth and ensuring maximum fleet performance.”

Ahmad Abu Nima, vice president technical operations at Norse Atlantic Airways, said: “This long-term agreement highlights Norse Atlantic’s dedication to delivering reliable and consistent service to our passengers.

“EPCOR’s proven capabilities, commitment to quality and experience with the APS5000 give us confidence as we expand our network and fleet.

“Our collaboration will help ensure that our Boeing 787 Dreamliners operate at peak performance, supporting our promise of affordable and environmentally conscious travel.”

Sustainability also plays a key role in the partnership; by maximising the lifespan of critical components and reducing waste, the agreement contributes directly to Norse Atlantic Airways’ environmental objectives and ongoing efforts to promote greener aviation and set new standards for environmental stewardship among low-cost carriers.

The signing took place at the Aviation Week MRO Europe 2025 event in London.
