Safran Nacelles will provide nacelle-related MRO services and replacement parts to Azul and Avianca Holdings following long-term contracts signed with those companies.
Brazil-based Azul will be able to send its Rolls-Royce Trent 700 nacelles to Safran’s facility in Indianapolis for MRO services and will have access to Safran’s global stock of thrust reversers for those engines, which power the low-cost carrier’s Airbus A330s. Olivier Savin, executive vice-president of Safran Nacelles, and Leonardo Zerbone, supply chain general manager Azul, signed this contract on 9 April.
