Rolls-Royce and ALS have signed an agreement for engine maintenance, repair and overhaul services for the Kenyan airline’s fleet of AE3007-powered Embraer ERJ135 and ERJ145 aircraft.
The agreement, which is for five years and will be for up to 10 aircraft in total, will see Rolls-Royce provide the Nairobi-based specialist operator with its TotalCare long-term aftercare service solution, which is designed to maximise aircraft availability.
TotalCare is a long-term services agreement under which Rolls-Royce takes responsibility for engine maintenance. Fleets covered by TotalCare achieve better time-on-wing, and benefit from the global Rolls-Royce CareNetwork; a large, capable and competitive engine service network that caters for the needs of engines at every point in their lifecycle.
ALS CEO Shakeel Khan said: “At ALS we are proud to be a creative airline and place great importance on partnering with organisations that share our vision and ambitions. Our existing relationship with Rolls-Royce has been very positive and we are delighted to extend it by selecting TotalCare for engine servicing of our ERJ135 and ERJ145 aircraft.”
