Spanish flag-carrier Iberia's maintenance division is to conduct component repair services for Turkish operator Onur Air's Airbus A330-300s.

The two sides have signed an exclusive 'by-the-hour' agreement covering three of the twin-jets for a five-year period.

Iberia says the pact includes components such as line-replaceable units, navigation systems and communications equipment.

Onur Air is leasing two of its A330s to Saudi Arabian Airlines and, as part of the component agreement, Iberia Maintenance is to locate a service kit at Jeddah.

Repair of components will be undertaken at Iberia's facility in Madrid.
