The company signed agreements at the Dubai Airshow with UK charter carrier Thomas Cook and Turkey's Tailwind Airlines.

The Thomas Cook deal covers three Airbus A330 C checks, the first of which was recently completed. It is the first time JorAMCo -   which has been trying to expand into the European market- has overhauled an aircraft for a UK carrier.

JorAMCo says the Tailwind contract covers maintenance services and modification work for the airline's Boeing 737-400 fleet. The Turkish charter and wet-lease carrier now operates three 737-400s with another two to be delivered by the end of 2010.

Tailwind launched charter services earlier this year and is planning to begin scheduled services in 2010.
