Ryanair announces five-year maintenance agreement with Joramco

Ryanair has announced a five-year heavy maintenance agreement with Jordan-based MRO provider Joramco Aircraft Maintenance, which will see the airline utilising up to six heavy maintenance bay slots at its facility in Amman.

Ryanair’s fleet will grow to more than 600 aircraft over the coming years and this agreement will ensure that the airline has flexibility as to where it places its aircraft for winter maintenance season.

The airline uses a mix of internal facilities and external suppliers to conduct its heavy maintenance. Ryanair continues to invest in its own internal heavy maintenance facilities and this agreement will complement these facilities to ensure the airline’s maintenance requirements are more than met over the coming years.

Ryanair’s Director of Operations, Neal McMahon, said: “We are pleased to extend and enhance our agreement with Joramco, who have been providing ad hoc maintenance for our fleet for the past three years. This agreement will allow Ryanair to utilise up to six heavy maintenance slots, with aircraft coming in nose to tail for the next five winter seasons. Joramco is a long-established maintenance provider with state-of-the-art facilities with over 50 customers around the world. It has an excellent reputation for a quality service offering in the industry and we are pleased to be announcing this new and enhanced deal.”

Joramco’s Chief Executive Officer, Fraser Currie, said: “We are delighted that Ryanair has selected Joramco to be its trusted MRO provider as Ryanair grows its fleet. This long-term partnership is a result of Joramco’s world-class expertise and efficient services. This growth comes after completion of another successful winter season with Ryanair. This deal is a significant factor in our strategic growth and road map, which is expected to see an increase in Joramco’s footprint.”
