Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance (AFI KLM E&M) and Oman’s low-cost carrier, SalamAir, have signed a new LEAP-1A engine support agreement.

Announced during the Paris Air Show 2025, the contract includes quick-turn support for SalamAir’s LEAP-1A engines, starting with three engines immediately, and with additional units expected as SalamAir’s fleet continues to expand.

Adrian Hamilton-Manns, chief executive of SalamAir, said: “Partnering with a global MRO leader like AFI KLM E&M is a significant milestone for SalamAir. As we scale up our operations and fleet, we need a maintenance partner that combines technical excellence with flexibility and responsiveness. AFI KLM E&M brings that, and more.”
