At the time of this announcement, five APUs are already undergoing maintenance at the renewed EPCOR facility based at Schiphol-Rijk, the Netherlands, with a steady pipeline of additional units anticipated over the course of the agreement.

“We are honoured to extend our partnership with Kuwait Airways, a historic airline with a proud legacy and a clear vision for operational excellence,” said Rob van de Graaf, commercial director at EPCOR. “This APU programme is a strong example of how we deliver value through technical depth, flexible support, and transparent collaboration.” 

“We view EPCOR and AFI KLM E&M not only as technical partners, but also as strategic allies in achieving our reliability and performance targets,” said Osama Al-Obaidan, engineering & maintenance director at Kuwait Airways. “Their track record with our 777 APU maintenance has demonstrated the professionalism, speed, and service quality we demand from our MRO providers. Renewing this agreement was a natural decision.”
