SR Technics, one of the world’s leading providers of technical solutions to airlines, has signed an engine maintenance contract worth over $30 million with Pakistan's second largest airline, Airblue Limited.

The agreement runs until 2022 and covers the maintenance and overhaul of the CFM56-5B engines used on Airblue’s Airbus A320 fleet, said a statement from the company.

This new agreement builds on the success of a seven-year contract between the two companies for the same services, it added.

SR Technics CEO Jeremy Remacha said: “We are proud to be prolonging our relationship with Airblue. This highlights our commitment to invest in long-term partnerships providing high quality and cost-effective services to our customers.”

Sadia Mohammad, deputy managing director for operations at Airblue, said: “Extending our existing contract by another seven years was the obvious thing to do. SR Technics has a proven track record when it comes to servicing Airblue’s CFM engines.”

“It is a record which clearly demonstrates that SR Technics provides the Swiss quality levels and safety stamp at the competitive rates that our company and our customer’s prize greatly,” she added. – TradeArabia News Service
