A global MRO leader
in multi-product aircraft
maintenance
In its maintenance activity, the Air France-KLM group has two entities,
Air France Industries and KLM Engineering & Maintenance. They provide
competitively-priced operational support for the Group’s companies and aim
to play a leading role on the global Maintenance Repair and Overhaul
(MRO) market.
Air France-KLM is the global number two in multi-product
aircraft maintenance with revenues totaling 2.86 billion
euros in 2006-07.
The maintenance of the Air France and KLM fleets
represents two-thirds of the activity of Air France
Industries and KLM E&M. The two companies also ensure
the fleet management of more than 150 airline customers.
Air France Industries and KLM E&M offer integrated,
multi-product services covering all areas of aeronautics
maintenance.
Within a context of the deregulation of global markets and
growth in traffic, it is vital for sector players to develop
tools and methods adapted to market requirements,
which enable optimum aeronautics maintenance with
aircraft grounded for the shortest possible period of time.
By combining the complementarities between Air France
Industries and KLM E&M in terms of aircraft types and
production capacity, the two entities are well placed to
improve their performance significantly and strengthen
their position in this market where the proportion of
sub-contracted maintenance is growing steadily.
Air France Industries and KLM
Engineering & Maintenance were
jointly selected for the European
MRO Airline of the Year award by
Overhaul & Maintenance, a
magazine published by the US group
Aviation Week. The award
recognizes the success of their
merger and the quality of the
extensive services offered to third-
party airline customers and those
within the Group.
