Cairo (Egypt), September 2024:
Liebherr-Aerospace and Egypt Air Maintenance & Engineering have recently signed a major heat transfer maintenance services agreement. Over the next three years, Liebherr and Egypt Air Maintenance & Engineering will jointly provide maintenance and re-coring services of heat transfer equipment that is on-board the Airbus A320ceo/neo fleet operated by EGYPTAIR and other airlines that have a standing MRO contract with EGYPTAIR MAINTENANCE & ENGINEERING.
The re-coring and major repairs will take place at the workshops of Liebherr Aerospace Saline, Inc., in Michigan (USA), already for several decades Liebherr’s center of excellence for heat transfer equipment MRO services in the Americas.
By providing localized support and reducing dependency on external services, EGYPTAIR MAINTENANCE & ENGINEERING is positioned as a key player in driving operational efficiency for airlines, especially within Africa and the Middle East. With reduced turnaround times and enhanced responsiveness, this partnership ensures that EGYPTAIR is at the forefront of delivering world-class maintenance solutions, tailored to the specific needs of its global clients.

Ibrahim Fathy, Chairman & CEO of Egypt Air Maintenance & Engineering. “Liebherr provides a high level of performance and flexibility. They understand and meet our and our customers’ requirements.”
Fathy added that Egypt Air Maintenance & Engineering will leverage Liebherr’s OEM expertise to reinforce its leadership in MRO services by undertaking a critical role in the repair process.
