KLM UK Engineering has sealed an extension to its line maintenance agreement with BA CityFlyer.

The AFI KLM E&M subsidiary specialises in regional and narrow-body aircraft maintenance on the Boeing 737, Embraer 170/190, BAe146/Avro RJ, Fokker 70/100 and Airbus A320 Family. The company said it reached agreement to increase the level of line maintenance support it is providing to the regional subsidiary of British Airways.

The carrier, now up and running for 11 years, operates a fleet of 21 Embraer 76-seat ERJ170s and 98-seat ERJ190s out of London City Airport, where it says it is now the largest operator serving 26 destinations.

Alan Lawson, line maintenance manager at the Norwich-based contractor, said: “KLM UK is delighted to continue its working relationship with BA CityFlyer at its Edinburgh line station and look forward to many more years of working together.”
