Royal Jordanian continues to work with MTU Maintenance with its V2500 engines

MTU Maintenance continues to be the exclusive MRO provider for Royal Jordanian's V2500 engines on its fleet of A320 family of aircraft.

RJ signed a Total Engine Care (TEC) agreement with MTU Maintenance which includes traditional MRO services, options for lease engines as well as MTU’s early detection system MTUPlus Engine Trend Monitoring. The contract covers all 24 of Royal Jordanian’s V2500-A5 engines and will run for five years. 

Royal Jordanian is one of MTU Maintenance’s first customers. The two companies started working together back in the 1980s with MRO contracts for the RB211 engines and extended their collaboration for the support of CF34 engines at a later stage. In 2010, both parties concluded an exclusive agreement for Royal Jordanian’s V2500 engines. This contract has now been renewed to include additional MRO services MTU is offering its customers to reduce their operational and shop visit costs. 

President/CEO Captain Suleiman Obeidat said: “Royal Jordanian is pleased to renew its long-standing contract with the right partner –MTU Maintenance- being the market leader for MRO services on the V2500 engines. MTU Maintenance did excellent work for us in the previous years, thus we extended this trust for the same high-quality standards again this time.” 

Sami Ben-Kraiem, senior director sales Middle East and North Africa at MTU Maintenance said: “I am very happy that we were able to convince the airline that our services and MRO expertise are among the best for their engines. I am very much looking forward to continuing our cooperation.
