Amstelveen, The Netherlands, 2016-Apr-08 — /Travel PR News/ — Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance is a fully certified Maintenance Repair & Overhaul (MRO) organisation for the 787 GEnx engines.

Following the joint venture KLM and Xiamen Airlines entered into in 2015 for the route Amsterdam-Xiamen, this new contract further strengthens our partnership. I believe this will lead to even closer ties and wider cooperation between our two airlines
