SR Technics has been selected by United States-based low-cost airline Allegiant Air to service its fleet of CFM56-5B engines for a period of three years.
Headquartered in Las Vegas, Allegiant Air is the ninth largest commercial airline in the USA. It currently has a fleet of 80 Airbus A319/A320 but expects to be flying 93 aircraft by the end of 2019.
The airline has already sent the first three engines to Zurich for the first of approximately 50 CFM56 shop visits over the term of the contract. The three-year deal includes an optional two-year extension.
