AFI KLM E&M To Maintain Aerolineas Argentinas APUs

Paris, Amstelveen, 18 October 2017 - Aerolineas Argentinas and AFI KLM E&M have signed an exclusive agreement organizing closed loop repairs for the APUs equipping the carrier’s entire fleet. The repair services will be provided by EPCOR, the AFI KLM E&M subsidiary specializing in APU support solutions.

Extension of an existing partnership
This latest contract extends the long-standing relationship developed between the two groups, which have cooperated in the MRO sphere for many years on all types of products, from engine and component maintenance to APU overhauls. The Argentinian airline was thus able to gauge the high quality and reliability of the solutions provided by the AFI KLM E&M subsidiary, one of the only shops in the world able to handle every type of APU equipping the carrier’s aircraft: APU331-350 (Airbus A330), APU131-9B (737) and APS2300 (Embraer 190).

Hernan Flombaum, Aerolineas Argentinas Components and Engines Provisioning Manager, said: "Throughout our business relationship, AFI KLM E&M has always demonstrated its ability to design and deliver high value-added MRO services. It was natural for us to maintain our trust with this reliable partner, especially as EPCOR has a global reputation for its expertise and the effectiveness of its APU support solutions."

EPCOR Managing Director Dennis Wetjens added: "We are honored that Aerolineas Argentinas has once again put its trust in our Group. This is a further illustration of the quality of our services, and we will strive to show that we are worthy of that trust."
