Aircraft maintenance
Follow us
Aircraft maintenance is one of the Air France-KLM Group’s three core businesses, generating €5.1 billion in revenue, including €2.1 billion from external customers.
Air France Industries-KLM Engineering & Maintenance (AFI-KLM E&M) provides maintenance, repair, and overhaul services (MRO) and is the second largest multi-product provider in the world. In a constantly evolving MRO market, its strength lies in offering products and services that are perfectly adapted to the maintenance needs of new-generation fleets, as well as solutions that have been specifically designed to address the end-of-life problems of certain aircraft.
The Group operates in three major maintenance segments: airframe maintenance, engine maintenance, and component support (electronic, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, aerostructure, etc.).
The aircraft maintenance activity accounts for 7% of the Air France-KLM Group’s revenue.
In 2024, AFI KLM E&M continued to strengthen its global position on new-generation aircraft, with strong growth for the Airbus A220, Airbus A320neo, Airbus A350, Boeing 737 MAX, and Boeing 787 products.
- The development of innovative solutions such as PROGNOS (a proprietary predictive maintenance tool) helps optimize operations, reduce maintenance costs, and increase aircraft availability for both the Group and its airline customers.
A constantly evolving brand
Recycling and circular waste management: Through the Reverse project, AFI KLM E&M applies the principles of the circular economy to give a second life to used equipment by promoting reuse, resale, refurbishment, or recycling.
Electrification of vehicles: AFI KLM E&M is gradually replacing its combustion vehicles with fully electric models to reduce CO₂ emissions.
Installation of solar panels: More than 7,600 solar panels have been installed on the roofs of the Amsterdam and Norwich hangars, significantly reducing their dependence on external energy.
Reduction of water consumption: Cleaning a Boeing 777 now requires only 150 liters of water, compared with 12,000 previously, thanks to optimized techniques and recycling of the water used.
- Responsible sourcing: AFI KLM E&M’s partners are assessed by the ECOVADIS label, the world’s most reliable business sustainability rating.
