Flair Airlines signs APU maintenance agreement with EPCOR
Paris, Schiphol, Edmonton, June 03, 2021
Canada’s only independent Ultra Low-Cost Carrier (ULCC) Flair Airlines will entrust EPCOR for its Boeing 737 APU support.
Flair Airlines, Canada’s only independent ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC), is expanding ambitiously with the addition of 13 new Boeing 737MAX 8 aircraft in 2021. Currently the Canadian operator uses three 737-800s, and the new aircraft will grow the fleet to 16. The contract covers the repair and maintenance of the Honeywell GTCP131-9B APU. Key for winning this contract is the expertise that EPCOR has as Honeywell licensed Airline MRO, their ever-evolving predictive maintenance system ‘Prognos® for APU’ with latest APU Fleet management functionality.
“We are very proud to be able to support Flair Airlines through AFI KLM E&M's global MRO network. In a challenging time for our industry, only a few operators have explicit short growth ambitions like Flair does. With over 450 Honeywell GTCP 131-9B APUs repaired since we were licensed, you may call us real -9B experts.”

Commercial Director of EPCOR
