Airbus and Malaysia Airlines extend widebody FHS contract

AIRBUS and Malaysia Airlines have signed an extension of their Flight Hour Services Components (FHS-C) contract for the national carrier’s A330 and A350 fleets as an outcome from its recently completed restructuring exercise.

The agreement was signed in Kuala Lumpur by Malaysia Airlines chief operations officer Ahmad Luqman Mohd Azmi and Airbus president (Asia-Pacific) Anand Stanley.

The multi-year extension covers technical support by Airbus for the airline’s existing widebody fleet of A350s, A330s as well as the A330-200Fs operated by MASKargo.

FHS-C provides component services including spare pool access, on-site-stock at the main base as well as components engineering and repairs.

Through FHS-C, Airbus guarantees parts availability and secure aircraft technical performance thanks to high-quality standards and component engineering.

“We are pleased to extend our partnership with Airbus and trust the brand to provide the vital technical support for our widebody fleet,” commented Ahmad Luqman.

“As we move forward as an airline and share our Malaysian Hospitality worldwide, the Airbus aircraft we fly will become a symbol of reliability and consistency.”

Looking forward to continuing Airbus’ close relationship with Malaysia Airlines with the extension of this FHS agreement. Stanley added:

“Especially in these challenging times, Airbus strives to provide value-added and tailor-made solutions to our airline partners to help them ensure increased operational reliability.” – April 8, 2021
