ATR, Royal Air Maroc Sign Global Maintenance Agreement

Covers Four ATR 72-600 Aircraft Operated By The Carrier

European turboprop aircraft manufacturer ATR and the national Moroccan airline Royal Air Maroc have signed a Global Maintenance Agreement (GMA) for the airline’s new fleet of ATR ‘-600’ aircraft. Signed for an initial period of four years, the contract covers the four ATR 72-600s already owned by the airline. Having received its first ATR 72-600 in August 2011, Royal Air Maroc was the first operator in the world to operate the aircraft.

As set out in this GMA contract, ATR will manage all aspects of maintenance and repair for some equipment for the airline’s ATR '-600' fleet. This equipment includes LRUs and propeller blades. By signing this contract, ATR guarantees Royal Air Maroc the permanent availability of these spare parts from its logistics center in Paris. The airline will also use ATR exclusively for all of its maintenance procedures, thus benefitting from the manufacturer’s expertise. This will have a positive impact on maintenance costs per flight hour.

The airline was the launch customer for the -600 series ATR two years ago. "It is now time to develop our partnership further with ATR through the signing of this agreement," said Zouhair Mohamed El Aoufir Deputy General Manager of Royal Air Maroc. "This will allow us to be able to continue to optimize the operation of our new fleet and to offer a high quality service to our passengers.”

"GMA contracts are an essential part of our customer service strategy as they enable us to make our aircraft knowledge and expertise available to customers and to relieve them of important maintenance coordination and management tasks,” said Lilian Braylé, ATR Product Support and Services Director.

Nearly 300 ATR airplanes currently in operation are covered by GMA with ATR. This represents nearly a third of ATR’s total operational fleet.
