Air Mauritius renews its partnership with AFI KLM E&M for the maintenance of its A330neo fleet
AFI KLM E& M will continue to provide equipment support for Air Mauritius' two Airbus A330-900 and four A350 aircraft. The two parties renewed their partnership on Thursday 29 September 2022.
The services provided by AFI KLM E& M cover repair services, access to shared equipment inventory and the supply of a Master Base Kit (MBK). "The new service agreement with AFI KLM E& M will ensure optimum equipment availability and, by extension, operational continuity for Air Mauritius. "We are delighted to strengthen our collaboration with AFI KLM E& M, known for its reliability, quality of service and responsiveness to our specific equipment service and support needs to ensure our operational continuity," said Ravin Ramroop, Air Mauritius' Chief Technical Officer. "We are proud and excited to be working towards the recovery of our historical partner. The difficulties encountered by the airline during the health crisis were an opportunity to underline and consolidate the bonds of solidarity and trust that exist between our two groups," adds Pierre Teboul, SVP Commercial at AFI KLM E& M. "Over many years of cooperation, the two groups have built a close partnership based on mutual trust: a relationship whose value has been fully demonstrated over the last few months, as Air Mauritius faced a disrupted period due to the health crisis. During this period, AFI KLM E& M continued to stand by the Mauritian airline and is now supporting the recovery of its operations," says AFI KLM E& M. This wide-body fleet enables Air Mauritius to currently operate to some ten destinations in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Indian Ocean islands. It also owns three ATR72-600.
