MTU Maintenance has signed its first maintenance contracts for CFM International LEAP-1A engines in North Africa, securing agreements with regional airlines including Air Cairo as it expands its presence in the market.
The Air Cairo agreement covers 42 LEAP-1A engines powering 19 Airbus A320neo aircraft, MTU said.
The contracts mark MTU’s entry into a North African market it has targeted for several years. The region’s strategic location between Europe, the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa, along with rising tourism, passenger demand and fleet modernisation, is driving growth in narrow-body aircraft operations.
The support agreement will be delivered jointly by MTU
