AFI KLM E&M’s aerostructures teams have decades of experience serving hundreds of operators around the world.

In workshops that meet the highest industrial standards, our experts master all key technologies, from sheet metal work to advanced composite repairs. The breadth of this knowhow enables AFI KLM E&M to adapt to the diversity of fleets and the pace of their renewal, covering both mature products (777, A320, A330, etc.) and new-generation aircraft: 787, A320neo, A220, A350, 737 MAX, etc.

• Nacelles: legacy as well as new-generation (including OEM licences for A320neo and 787 support)
• Thrust reverser & transcowl
• Inlet cowl, fan cowl & core Cowl
• Radomes
• Flight control surfaces

1. Inspection and «fly on» diagnosis (in conjunction with the OEM beyond certain tolerance thresholds)
2. In case of AOG, look for an on-wing solution to minimize the downtime
3. As a last resort: removal and definition of a return to-service strategy with the best cost / TAT ratio (standard exchange, rental, logistics, etc).

As a global multi-product MRO, AFI KLM E&M masters the entire aviation maintenance chain. Thanks to our expertise in maintenance programs, we are able to design aerostructure operations synchronized with scheduled maintenance visits, in our own hangars as well as in those of our customers: an additional lever for minimizing TAT and avoiding AOG.

In addition to fleet operators, AFI KLM E&M offers dedicated aerostructures for the specific needs of other players:

• lessors: with inspection services for nacelles and composites during the acquisition or return phase, for greater technical and financial visibility on potential work to be carried out
• brokers: with overhaul, repair and storage services for their second-hand parts acquired on the market.
