Air Senegal and AFI KLM E&M recently signed an agreement covering component support for the Senegalese carrier’s fleet of two A330neo aircraft. The terms of the contract include flight hour repairs, access to the spares pool, and local provision of a Main Base Kit (MBK).
Air Senegal had already previously chosen AFI KLM E&M to support its ATR 72-600 fleet in July 2018, as well as, last fall, for the support of its A319 components including pool access, repairs and provision of a MBK. This new long-term contract marks a renewal of its confidence in AFI KLM E&M’s components offer.
The recently formed (2016) African airline, which obtained its air operator certificate on 30 April 2018, is thus assured of high-level support to guarantee the performance of its long-haul operations.
