Oman Air and CFM Sign CFM56-7B Engine Service Agreement
Oman Air and CFM International have signed a Rate per Flight Hour (RPFH) agreement for the airline's fleet of 33 CFM56-7B engines.
The CFM56-7B engine service agreement between Oman Air and CFM International was signed during a ceremony in Muscat, Oman on the 26th
October.
The RPFH is a comprehensive maintenance program customized to Oman Air’s specific requirements. Under the terms of the agreement, CFM guarantees the maintenance cost on a dollar per engine flight hour basis for the airline’s entire fleet of installed and spare CFM56-7B engines, powering its fleet of 15 Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft throughout the term of the agreement.
The CFM56-7B engines are a product of CFM International. Oman Air has been a CFM customer since 2001, when it became the first airline in the Gulf region to order CFM56-7B-powered Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft. Today, the airline operates a fleet of 23 aircraft and serves nearly 41 destinations throughout the Gulf region, the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and the Far East.
"The agreement we signed today begins the next chapter of a successful partnership”, said Salim Al Kindy, chief technical officer of Oman Air.
“We are very proud to offer our customers the industry-leading, on-time reliability through this tie-up. This comprehensive service and support package will enable us to keep our costs predictable and allow us to focus better on serving our customers ever better,” said Al Kindy.
