Airbus and flag carrier Malaysia Airlines have reached an agreement to extend their widebody Flight Hour Services Components (FHS-C) contract.

The contract extension covers Malaysia Airlines’ A330 and A350 fleets and it comes after the carrier recently completed its restructuring exercise.

Malaysia Airlines chief operations officer Ahmad Luqman Mohd Azmi said: “We are pleased to extend our partnership with Airbus and trust the brand to provide vital technical support for our widebody fleet.

“As we move forward as an airline and share our Malaysian hospitality worldwide, the Airbus aircraft we fly will become a symbol of reliability and consistency.”

Under this multi-year contract, Airbus will provide technical support for Malaysia Airlines’ current A350 and A330 widebody fleets, as well as cargo carrier MASKargo-operated A330-200Fs.

The aircraft manufacturer will also deliver component services, engineering and repairs access to spare pool, on-site-stock at the main base, guaranteed parts availability and secure aircraft technical performance.
