Cebu Pacific Air has extended its maintenance agreement with AFI KLM E&M to include support for seven A321 and 32 A321neo aircraft.
The original agreement between the two was signed in 2017 and initially covered Cebu Pacific Air's fleet of over 40 Airbus A320s.
The array of services provided under the long-term contract includes component repairs from Singapore and AFI KLM E&M's worldwide repair network as well as access to a local spares pool.
The contract extension bolsters AFI KLM E&M's leadership position in the Asian market for component support services, embodied in particular through its local joint venture with Sabena Technics, Singapore Component Solutions (SCS) as well as a large regional customer community operating from various hubs throughout the region.
Ian Wolfe, head of engineering at Cebu Pacific Air, said: "We are pleased to be able to benefit from the skills of an A320 components market leader.
"Singapore Component Solutions (SCS) is an efficient, responsive MRO backed by its parents' regional logistics centres and parts inventories and by their technical expertise."
SCS specialises in repairs for A320, ATR and Fokker 100 fleets and has recently added repair capability for A330. With capabilities for avionics, mechanical and pneumatic components, along with aerostructure, cabin and safety components, SCS has developed a comprehensive offering for customers in the Asia region.
Dominik Wiener Silva, vice president sales AFI KLM E&M, commented: "In 2017, Cebu Pacific Air signed a first contract with us. It is a fairly recent customer, so it is a great honour to be able to extend our contract so soon. We have taken up a challenge by demonstrating our ability to adapt to Cebu Pacific's high operational requirements as well as ambitious fleet plans. We look forward to being part of an exciting and successful journey ahead.
