Quality, safety and compliance

AFI KLM E&M stands out for the proven reliability of its services, which are guaranteed by a single, global certification covering its entire organization: maintenance activities, quality, occupational health and safety, environment, projects and methods, risk management, and more. As a longstanding partner of the French and Dutch air forces, as well as of the NATO Support Agency (NSPA) and IAMCO, we are well-acquainted with the various rules and requirements specific to the armed forces. Safety and security are our top priorities: all our sites dedicated to supporting military fleets are protected according to the procedures determined by our customers – even down to the classification of certain "top secret" areas.

A long-term commitment

AFI KLM E&M has extensive capabilities across a wide range of Airbus, Boeing and regional fleet aircraft and systems. In addition to capitalizing on our experience of civil equipment used by armed forces, we have expert knowledge of the specific maintenance requirements of military platforms such as the (K)DC-10 and E-3F AWACS. In 2022, for example, we were selected by the International Aerospace Management Company (IAMCO) – the organization responsible for maintaining NATO AWACS in operational condition – to provide closed-loop maintenance services for the fleet's 14 aircraft, covering a wide range of avionics and hydraulic components. We are also pursuing a long-term development strategy aimed at positioning ourselves as a benchmark MRO supplier for the latest platforms, such as the A330 MRTT/MMF and A400M.
