Low-cost carrier flyadeal, a subsidiary of Saudi Arabian Airlines Corporation, has signed a seven-year TrueChoice™ overhaul agreement during the Dubai Airshow to cover CFM56-5B engines that power its 11 A320-200 aircraft fleet.
As part of the agreement, GE Aviation provided flyadeal an end-to-end engine management solution, combining engine overhaul services along with logistics for engine removals, changes and leases. Previously, the cost and logistics of engine removal, delivery and collection was the responsibility of the airline or lessor. The company’s turnkey approach means these logistics will be handled by GE and its suppliers.
GE Aviation is providing flyadeal integrated overhaul and engine change services through Caerdav, an independent aviation MRO provider that is a GE vendor in this agreement.
