(MENAFN) Flydubai’s CEO, Ghaith Al Ghaith, said that in order to be sure that the carrier’s engines would keep performing at their best levels, the company signed a USD300 million deal with GE Aviation for the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of 109 engines, reported Emirates 24/7.
Al Ghaith added that the contract, which would span over the next 10 years, would include the investment of USD2 million for each CFM56-78 engine that would serve Fludubai’s Boeing 737-800 NG aircraft, adding that some engines would need to be repaired more than once.
