The aim of the services agreement is to enhance reliability, maintenance efficiency, and fleet performance.
“This partnership with Airbus marks another milestone in SalamAir’s journey to build a smarter, more resilient, and sustainably growing operation,” said Olcay Turker, Chief Financial Officer of SalamAir. “As we expand our fleet and network in line with our long-term growth strategy, strengthening our maintenance and support ecosystem is essential. Airbus’ Flight Hour Services will equip us with the agility and technical assurance needed to uphold operational excellence and ensure the highest levels of safety and reliability for our passengers.”
“We are delighted to support SalamAir through our FHS solution, providing access to Airbus` integrated component management, repair, and logistics capabilities,” commented Marc Muller, Regional Head of Commercial Services at Airbus Africa & Middle East. “By combining predictive maintenance with real time fleet data, FHS will help SalamAir improve dispatch reliability, reduce maintenance lead times and optimize aircraft availability. This partnership ensures that SalamAir`s fleet operates at peak performance, reinforcing our shared focus on safety, efficiency and operational excellence”
In February 2025, the airline announced plans to lease an additional 10 A320s over the next three years.
