AFI KLM E&M and Indian LCC IndiGo have signed a component support contract covering 30 ATR 72-600 aircraft, delivery of which is to begin in the near future. The array of services to be delivered by AFI KLM E&M includes repairs, dedicated pool access, provision of a Main Base Kit (MBK), and logistics support.

S C Gupta VP Engineering IndiGo, said: "The fact that our two firms have developed strong mutual knowledge and shared aims during our earlier cooperation was a major factor in our decision to renew our trust in AFI KLM E&M as we integrate a new aircraft type into our fleet. Their maintenance services have always provided the strongest guarantees of quality and reliability, and have become a major contributor to our operational performance and to the service we offer our customers. As a result, we are certain that we will benefit from the same exacting standards and excellence for our ATR 72-600s."

Fabrice Defrance, SVP Commercial AFI KLM E&M, said: "We are delighted and proud to be furthering our partnership with one of India's most important airlines. The extension of our trust-based partnership with IndiGo is an additional mark of the relevance and quality of the MRO solutions designed by AFI KLM E&M, and our Group is already geared up to support the integration of the ATR 72-600s in IndiGo's fleet with optimal component support in place, thanks, in particular, to our new Singapore facility.
