Air Europa extends maintenance contract

Air Europa has signed an extended agreement with Collins Aerospace, a subsidiary of RTX group, for the maintenance of its Boeing 787 aircraft nacelles. The contract is set to last until 2037 and includes both nacelle-related services and thrust reverser maintenance.

Contract includes specialized support

The agreement covers assistance during aircraft ground immobilizations, also known as AOG situations, and includes scheduling for workshops that adapt to the aging of Air Europa's fleet. This aims to reduce unexpected ground delays and improve the prediction of maintenance needs.

Logistical and equipment provisions

The contract also includes positioning nacelles at the airline's main base in Madrid-Barajas and an early equipment exchange solution. These provisions are intended to streamline operations and reduce downtime for the airline's fleet.

Air Europa's Boeing 787 fleet

Air Europa operates nearly thirty Boeing 787 aircraft, including 11 of the 787-8 model and 18 of the 787-9 model. The extended contract is part of the airline's strategy to ensure the continued reliability and efficiency of its wide-body aircraft.
