Gulf Air has signed a three-year maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) agreement with JorAMCo, to cater for its Heavy Maintenance and ‘C’ check fleet requirements. JorAMCo, a Jordan-based company signed the contract following a bidding tender process through the Bahrain Tender Board.
Gulf Air’s acting chief executive officer, Maher Salman Al Musallam said: “Gulf Air has taken on JorAMCo based on their vast experience and technical expertise in the areas of Airframe Maintenance. Secondly, their close proximity to Bahrain has an added benefit that our aircraft will no longer have to leave the region for maintenance.”
JorAMCo will provide Gulf Air with Heavy Maintenance and ‘C’ checks including C1, C2, C3 and C4 checks for its fleet of 26 aircraft – A330s, A320-ERs, A320s and A321s. All maintenance will be performed in its facilities at Queen Alia International Airport. Gulf Air performs its own aircraft maintenance, up to and including A-checks, utilizing all engineering resources available locally in Bahrain. The airline also fully manages its Continued Airworthiness Management Organization (CAMO) functions.
Gulf Air’s acting chief technical officer, Jamal Hashim, said: “Greater aircraft technical dispatch reliability and higher aircraft availability allow us to operate more frequencies and improve our on-time performance; for which we are already a global leader.”
