Paris, Amstelveen, 14 February 2017 – Luxair has decided to extend its contract with AFI KLM E&M subsidiary EPCOR, which specializes in Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) and pneumatic component maintenance. EPCOR will continue to provide maintenance and overhaul services for the APUs equipping its fleet of Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft: two 737-700s and four 737-800s.For Luxair, the decision to extend its cooperation with EPCOR was above all based on the quality and reliability of the maintenance services delivered by the AFI KLM E&M subsidiary in recent years under the APU support contract covering the Luxembourg carrier’s 737NG fleet. Luxair was able to see EPCOR’s expertise in the APU maintenance segment in action, as well as the reliability of its overhaul services, convincing it to extend its trust for several more years. Christophe Henriot, Head of Technical Services at LuxairGroup, praised the “exacting quality of the maintenance solutions offered by EPCOR, a reliable partner for our operations. By extending this contract, we are expressing our satisfaction at the services delivered in recent years, and also our confidence that EPCOR will continue to provide support to a very high level for the APUs equipping our 737NGs.” EPCOR Managing DirectorDennis Wetjens said: “The fact that a leading airline like Luxair has renewed its confidence in our expertise is a precious sign of recognition – the recognition of our know-how on APU products, and the suitability and competitiveness of the solutions we develop and implement to guarantee optimum maintenance conditions.
