Snecma to Care for NWA Engine Maintenance Equipment
Northwest Airlines recently signed a long-term maintenance
agreement with Snecma Services to care for the air carrier's quick
engine change (QEC), buyer furnished equipment (BFE) and line
replaceable units (LRUs) used to maintain the CFM56 turbofans
fitted to its Airbus A320 jetliners. Snecma will handle all maintenance
of this equipment during both routine line service and removal/replacement
operations for a fixed rate, based upon flight hours.
