Cebu Pacific and Safran Nacelles have today announced a multi-year service agreement to cover the maintenance repair and overhaul (MRO) of their Airbus A330neo nacelles as well as an asset pool access.

Under this agreement, Cebu Pacific will have access to Safran Nacelles' shared pool of nacelles end-items at any time, ensuring the availability of critical components whenever needed. Furthermore, the airline will benefit from Safran Nacelles' original equipment manufacturer guaranteed MRO solutions in its repair stations.

Alain Berger, Safran Nacelles' executive vice president - customer support & services, commented: "We are very proud to reinforce the strong relationship with Cebu Pacific thanks to this new agreement for their brand new A330neo fleet.

"As being the A330neo full nacelle designer, our teams are committed to providing best in class and tailor-made service solutions thanks to their unique knowledge and expertise of the equipment, a worldwide pool of asset and MRO network."

Shevantha Weerasekera, Cebu Pacific's vice president for engineering and fleet management said: "Our priority is providing best-in-class service to our customers. This agreement will not only ensure asset availability and reactivity through Safran Nacelles' strategic storage locations but also OEM quality of repairs on nacelles."

Safran Nacelles' repair services and spares resources are part of the company's NacelleLife™ support program, which ensures responsive, cost effective and high-quality services that keep airliners in operational condition while minimising costs.

French-owned jet engine maker Safran employs over 80,000 people worldwide and has a base in Gloucester.
