In a recent development, SR Technics has been selected by Etihad Airways to provide Integrated Component Services for its new Boeing 787 fleet.
The company is also in advanced discussions on further maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) contracts.
The agreement is worth over US$150 million with SR Technics providing component maintenance support for the Boeing 787 fleets. The airline will have 71 aircraft in operation by 2023.
James Hogan, Etihad Airways president and chief executive officer, said: “This agreement confirms our growing relationship with SR Technics, which has already proven its capability when it comes to managing our existing fleet’s component services requirements.”
The agreement will lead to a major increase in volume for SR Technics’ existing Boeing 787 component services-related business. Etihad Airways currently operates three Boeing 787 aircraft on key medium and long-haul routes from Abu Dhabi to Washington DC, Mumbai, Moscow and Brisbane. This will be expanded to Zurich in July and Singapore in August. The airline will also begin taking delivery of Boeing 787s in a two-class configuration from 2016.
