AirAsia X has extended its contract with Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance for component support on its fleet of Airbus A330s and A340s.
The extended agreement includes an additional seven A330s - one new, six leased - and now covers component repairs, pool access and logistics services for a total of 32 A330s and two A340s.
The initial contract, signed in 2009, applied to a single leased aircraft, but has been extended twice in order to support the expansion of the Malaysian carrier, including 25 new A330s ordered from Airbus and two A340s.
