The agreement covers more than 18,700 parts during a five-year implementation period. Additional parts will be added in phases, up to the 35,700 parts required for the Kenya Airways fleet.
“Boeing’s Consumable & Expendable Services program provides the most economical and comprehensive solution for Kenya Airways,” said Ihssane Mounir, Senior Vice President of Commercial Sales & Marketing for the Boeing Company. “With this program, Kenya Airways can rely on Boeing’s resources and global presence and focus on their core business of serving their passengers.”
