Japan Airlines (JAL) and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) will explore opportunities to collaborate in aircraft MRO, amid rising demand for aftermarket services.
The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding on 27 August, covering services such as repairs and maintenance, parts supply, and refurbishment.
JAL says it will contribute its expertise in aircraft operations and maintenance, with MHI bringing its experience in aircraft design development, MRO services, and manufacturing certification.
“JAL and MHI will continue their current exploration underway toward expanding co-operation in human resources development and technology development relating to the aircraft industry,” the companies state.
