Primera Air has signed a Boeing Global Fleet Care agreement for its 737 MAX and Next-Generation 737 fleets during a signing ceremony at the Farnborough International Airshow. Under the contract, Boeing will provide engineering services, material services and line and heavy maintenance execution services.
"Boeing Global Fleet Care will be an integral part of our success story by providing Primera Air's fleet maintenance operations as we expand our network of flights," said Andri M. Ingolfsson, President & CEO, Primera Travel Group. "We're proud to expand our growing relationship with Boeing."
