Air Cairo, ATR Sign Global Maintenance Agreement

Air Cairo (SM) and ATR – regional aircraft manufacturer, announced a Global Maintenance Agreement (GMA). The five-year pay-by-the-hour contract enables Air Cairo to receive support in the repair, overhaul and pooling services of Line Replaceable Units for its fleet of six ATR 72-600s currently being delivered – including on-site stock of spare parts, along with blades availability and maintenance services.

“As we are reintroducing the ATR platform in Egypt after 15 years, we want to ensure we can offer our passengers the most modern, comfortable and reliable experience. Our choice of the aircraft type will assist on the former two points, while the ATR GMA will support our effort to deliver the latter to our passengers.” -Mr Hussein Sherif, CEO, Air Cairo.
