D – AFI KLM E&M strategy
Delivering more value-added to customers
AFI KLM E&M has opted for a development focused on delivering added-value to its
clients driven by improvements in performance levels, costs and the development of its
high added-value products and services. The Group’s main objective is to maintain a
presence across all market segments and provide adaptive solutions to third-party airline
requirements.
7
The strategy is underpinned by:
■
The development of local units to offer customers a more local presence and boost
AFI KLM E&M commercial responsiveness on targeted markets;
■
Network adjustments and optimization in order to boost logistics performance;
■
The development of skills and know-how designed to offer clients greater value-added;
■
Cost control and the search for scale effects through improved operational
performance.
AFI KLM E&M is also being careful to adjust its staffing levels to activity, and to step up its
cost-saving measures to safeguard its competitiveness by, eg, extending procurement
synergies among Group entities, revising its processes, achieving productivity gains, and
adjusting its investment program.
Adaptiveness® for a win-win partnership
Adaptiveness® is our response to the changing MRO business environment. It means
listening to and understanding the key technical priorities of our customers’ operations,
building unique solutions meeting their specific requirements, and staying at their side as
a partner to support them through their daily challenges in a spirit of continuous improvement.
- Adaptiveness® means that we commit to designing the solution which best fits the
customer’s operational objectives, current situation & constraints, and need for cost
savings.
- Adaptiveness® means that we offer customers alternative options, such as repairing
instead of replacing.
Even though we may not always have instant answers, we always endeavor to find them.
AFI KLM E&M’s ambition is to be the adaptive MRO which offers its airline customers
tailormade, reliable and creative solutions.
Generating savings for clients
AFI KLM E&M’s third-party clients also benefit from the cost-savings program implemented
by the AIR FRANCE KLM group to manage its own fleets. The use of Group resources
means that AFI KLM E&M can achieve scale effects for its own clients in several ways:
■
by obtaining greater leverage with suppliers and repairers;
■
by optimizing the inventory size, giving customers the benefit of scale effects;
■
by developing alternative solutions to purchasing parts;
■
by inventing and developing repairs to reduce costs.

The MRO Lab - Adaptive Innovation
As an Airline MRO, AFI KLM E&M has developed a unique portfolio of
know-how and engineering capabilities reflected in its development of a
wide range of value-adding innovations. This mindset has always been
deeply embedded in Group DNA.
"The MRO Lab" is the point where all the innovations developed by AFI KLM E&M and
its network of affiliates converge. Specially tailored to the challenges of aircraft
maintenance, the innovations are the fruit of continuous development aimed at
satisfying the requirements of airline operating performance. The know-how deriving
from mastery of these technologies benefits AFI KLM E&M clients by generating scale
effects and optimizing fleet performance.
Twenty Years Of Employee driven Innovation at AFI KLM E&M for 100,000 ideas in 20 years
In 2013, the program was mainstreamed to the entire airline with six categories:
customer satisfaction, sustainable development, occupational health and safety, flight
safety, savings, and performance. Here again it is meant to be a continuous process,
in which everyone is free to submit an idea at any time.
Moonshine: the Lean Management version of participatory innovation
At Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, participatory innovation is driven by the Moonshine
program part of the Lean strategy. When an end-user reports a problem he has
encountered, a Moonshine project is launched. A team made up of Moonshine experts,
end-users, and engineers is tasked with finding a solution to the problem using a
variety of methods, mostly inherited from the Lean 'toolkit'. Moonshine is governed by
a number of basic design principles which include ergonomics and error proofing, the
latter implying that a product can only be used one way: the right way. The end-user
participates actively in the Moonshine process, from defect definition to building
prototypes which he road-tests and develops until they satisfy the design
requirements.

II – AFI KLM E&M’s key strength: adaptability
In a fast-changing MRO market, AFI KLM E&M is well-equipped to meet the challenges of
its clients and share its expertise. Its key strengths lie in a product and service offering that
is a perfect fit for the maintenance requirements of new-generation fleets, supplemented
by solutions specially designed to deal with end-of-life issues on some aircraft.
A – Component support services
Over the years, AFI KLM E&M has developed an extensive portfolio of
maintenance services, covering the whole range of aircraft components for
a broad range of aircraft families.
In addition to repairs and overhauls, AFI KLM E&M provides a range of
complimentary services to assist client airlines wherever they are located. These include
logistics, warranty management, engineering, pooling, loans and leases, purchasing and
financing, not to mention the design of ad hoc solutions near client locations.
Over 30 national authorities have acknowledged this and have certificated AFI KLM E&M
to carry out component repairs in compliance with their own regulations.
AFI KLM E&M notably provides component support for the following:
■
■
■
Fast-growing regional fleets (ATR, Embraer, CRJ) by adjusting its logistics department
to the specific needs of the regional operators.
Boeing 777: AFI KLM E&M has asserted its leadership position on the 777 support and
maintenance market and is extending its engineering leadership via the Component
Services Program (CSP) operated in conjunction with Boeing.
Boeing 737NG: In 2005, AFI KLM E&M and Boeing set up the unique CSP Component
Services Program for 737NG aircraft. Some 20 airlines on five continents
have to date opted for the CSP. It guarantees them control over their
operations and provides fast-track access to 737NG componentspools
located in Amsterdam, London, Seattle, Dubai, Kuala Lumpur and
Toronto. The program can also be extended to the complete inventory of 737NG
components and to engineering support. This high-end program delivers the best
of the manufacturer’s know-how with that of a market-leading MRO operator. Over
400 aircraft worldwide are already supported by the 737NG CSP framework.

■
787: Being involved in all areas of engineering and maintenance services for every
Boeing aircraft type, and being known for our front-running position in new
technology, 787 support is a logical extension to our MRO portfolio.
A330/A340: Air France and KLM operate a combined fleet of 26 A330s and 19
A340s. This is why AFI KLM E&M is the world leader when it comes to A330/A340
component support. Over 200 aircraft currently benefit from our services worldwide.
A320: AFI KLM E&M maintains close to 400 A320s, both for major airlines and lowcost carriers. We offer maintenance and repairs for over 2,500 A320 family part
numbers.
A350: Without waiting for the first commercial flights, AFI KLM E&M has already
been tooling up to maintain the A350, enabling it to design and then market a full
range of MRO services for operating airlines. In line with its industrial strategy, AFI
KLM E&M is developing in-house A350 maintenance capabilities and is
constructing an appropriate engineering program.
A380: AFI KLM E&M is providing component overhauls for the largest member of
the Airbus family via the Spairliners joint venture. To date, customers are Air France,
Lufthansa, Qantas and Malaysia.
E-Jet: AFI KLM E&M has developed a new offer dedicated to component support
for Embraer E-Jet family aircraft (E-170/E-175 and E-190/E-195), operated via the
Spairliners joint venture.
The Group is also developing its APU maintenance capabilities via EPCOR, a subsidiary
which provides APU maintenance services for the 737NG, 777 plus 787 (APS 5000), A320,
A330 and A340, and Embraer 170 and 190 (APS 2300) with a 30-days TAT. Because it has
access to its parent’s operational experience and vast pool and also boasts state-of-theart tooling, facilities, and in-house testing capabilities, EPCOR can offer a particularly
broad, competitive portfolio of services.
B – Engine support services
GE90
With around 150 engines in operational use, AIR FRANCE KLM is a major global operator
of GE90 engines. The Group has 20% of the total engines in the GE range
currently in service. AIR FRANCE KLM has one of the biggest Boeing 777
fleets in the world, operating the 777-200ER since 1998 and being the
11
launch airline for the 777-300ER and for the 777 LR freighter. AFI KLM E&M has built up a
unique level of experience and know-how on this outstanding engine:
■
■
■
As the main alternative to the manufacturer’s services, AFI KLM E&M’s offering
is backed up by leading-edge technology infrastructure. The Group has expanded
its engineering capacity through a continuous investment program for its facilities
and by carrying out repairs. For example, AFI KLM E&M added a further 5,500 sqm
to its workshops in 2006 and 11,000 sqm in 2010. The Group has also developed
Quick Turn operations that no other MRO is currently able to offer.
AFI KLM E&M is constantly expanding its overhaul capacity: from full overhaul
capabilities to main modules to gearboxes (e.g., TGB, IGB) and engine accessories
(e.g., HMU, VSV actuators). Workshops at both AFI KLM E&M and our CRMA
subsidiary offer extensive capabilities for engine-part repairs. We provide OEM
repairs as well as alternative repairs through DER or DOA approvals. Our broad
customer portfolio includes major OEMs and MROs
AFI KLM E&M is the main MRO operator (apart from the OEM) to maintain the
GE 90. As operator and launch customer of this engine type, the Group combines
operational experience with its engineering experience to provide top-quality
maintenance tailored to customer needs
New Engine Test Cell
To complete its industrial infrastructure modernization program and achieve
total control over Very Big Engine (VBE) maintenance processes, AFI KLM
E&M embarked on the construction of a new Engine Test Cell (ETC), opened
in 2012, for use with GE90-94/115, CFM56, GP7200 and GEnx power
plants. This bulding includes outstanding sound insulation, with walls 1m thick, ergonomic
workstations, and rainwater recovery. The ultimate aim is to be able to handle 110 VBE
engines a year in the 100m-long test cell. With the entry into service of this €40 million
facility, AFI KLM E&M can offer the complete array of services on Very Big Engines. This
new facility is certified FAA, OSAC and CAAC by respectively U.S., European and Chinese
authorities.
CFM56 and CF6
AFI KLM E&M clients get the benefit of the world’s largest CFM56-5, CFM56-7 and
CF6-80E1 engine maintenance facility, divided between its two ultra-modern engine
shops located at Amsterdam and Paris.
12
CFM56-5 & CFM56-7
AFI KLM E&M currently supports the biggest fleet of CFM56-5 and CFM56-7 engines in
the world with more than 400 engines operated by a broad range of airlines. Among the
services available for CFM56-5 and CFM56-7 engines are on-site support, a hospital
chain, and a replacement engine supply, thanks to the Group’s vast pool, and optimized
total maintenance costs. AFI KLM E&M has already carried out over 1,500 shop visits on
this engine type, and has an annual capability of 180 visits.
■
■
CF6-80C2
AFI KLM E&M has almost 25 years’ experience on CF6-80C2 overhauls.
One of the Group’s key strengths is its ability to offer highly flexible shop visit
slots for this engine type. In all, AFI KLM E&M has already completed 2,100
shop visits for CF6-80C2 engines, of which 220 are fitted to Group aircraft.
CF6-80E1
The latest addition to General Electric’s CF6 family, the CF6-80E1, equips the
Group’s A330s. AFI KLM E&M added the capabilities linked to this engine in 2005
and in so doing became Europe’s only MRO (apart from the OEM) to offer fullservice maintenance and testing for CF6-80E1 powerplants. AFI KLM E&M is
currently in charge of maintaining 20% of the world’s CF6-80E1-equipped aircraft.
The engine’s design is similar to that of the CF6-80C2, with which it has 60% parts
commonalty. The experience gained by the Group during the 2,100 shop visits
carried out to date on the CF6-80C2 engine represents an excellent basis for its
CF6-80E1 maintenance activities.
■
GP7200
AFI KLM E&M is extending its offering with the advent of a new engine type: the
GP7200 equipping Air France’s A380s. In a related development, CRMA (the
Group’s subsidiary specializing in the repair of new generation engine parts and
sub-systems) has been selected by the GP7200’s OEM, Engine Alliance, as a
primary repair shop for the engine’s combustion chamber and its turbine centre
frame (TCF – the frame structure located between the high and low pressure turbines).
PW4000 and JT8D
Our Bonus Aerospace, Inc. JV is a FAA & EASA certified engine repair facility. Our
capabilities include the JT8D-200, JT8D Basic and the PW4000 series. From the
most complex engine overhaul to minor repairs, we deliver outstanding quality and
13
support for all of your operating needs. Our goal is to provide our customers with
100% satisfaction and to keep the costs as low as possible.
GEnx
The GEnx new-generation powerplant that will equip the AIR FRANCE KLM fleet of
Boeing 787s from the end of this year represents another step towards the future in
MRO terms. AFI KLM E&M teams will overhaul and repair the engines at its
Schiphol engine shop. Final testing will be carried out at AFI KLM E&M’s
shop in Paris, the only one in Europe to be approved besides General Electric’s
own.
C – Modifications
AFI KLM E&M has an extensive offering in this area which in times of crisis is particularly strategic
for clients faced with the need to tailor their fleets to changes in their economic environment.
The Group provides modifications services for both civilian and military aircraft, respectively for
mainstream airlines, private fleets and corporate jets on the one hand, and aircraft such as the
AWACS and C135 on the other.
In particular, AFI KLM E&M can assist airlines operating their own design studios to implement
their modification programs, with oversight during the preliminary project and during the cabin
modification phase proper, and the provision of post-delivery maintenance. Where clients do not
have their own design studio, the Group can take care of the entire process, from modification
design to installation. The scope of modifications supported includes avionics suites, cockpit
upgrades, IFE systems, and Live TV and web services. AFI KLM E&M leverages on its
experience in VIP modifications to offer a comprehensive range of flexible services for outfitting
and maintaining private and government aircraft.
AFI KLM E&M infrastructure for cabin modification work is located at Roissy, Orly and
Amsterdam.
D – Preventive maintenance for nacelles (FTR)
With the development of new-generation aircraft, many carriers have been
neglecting the preventive maintenance of their nacelles. This approach can
cost them dear when it is necessary to carry out work following an incident.
Depending on the aircraft type, it requires on average two unscheduled days of repairs and
testing. For an airline, those unforeseen two days’ grounding amount to two days’ less
operation, and major disruption and costs. Under the partnership approach offered to
clients by AFI KLM E&M, the Group is seeking to raise their awareness about the benefits
of anticipating any deterioration in their fleet’s engine nacelles. AFI KLM E&M
14
consequently proposes on-wing inspections combined with an FTR maintenance program
built into the aircraft’s own maintenance schedule to optimize AOG and operability.
More generally, AFI KLM E&M receives on average one AOG per week and repairs up to
200 FTRs each year. Capital intensive engineering resources are required for substantial
scale effects. This is a further benefit that AFI KLM E&M provides for its clients, namely the
economies of scale derived from its maintenance of the Group fleet’s nacelles, a team of
highly-skilled staff with a cumulative experience of over 50 years, and cutting-edge
infrastructure featuring, among other benefits, four special ovens for curing composites.
At the end of June 2014, AFI KLM E&M broke ground for Helios, its new dedicated
Aerostructures facility located at Roissy Charles-de-Gaulle airport. Deployment of this
industrial project, which amounts €45 million, will enable AFI KLM E&M to broaden its
range of products and services and also to carry out R&D projects as part of an innovation
policy designed to offer new high-value-added solutions for clients. The key objectives are
to halve TAT and to be able to be a major player for the maintenance of new aircraft types
such as the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350. In the future Helios will employ up to 300 highly
qualified personnel.
In addition, AFI KLM E&M and Aircelle (SAFRAN Group) have teamed up to create AMES,
a joint venture for aircraft engine nacelle repair and maintenance in the Middle East (see p.17).
AMES operates a state-of-the-art repair shop located in Dubai's Jebel Ali Free Zone. It also
leverages the extensive human, technical and logistics resources of its two parent companies,
enabling AMES to offer a comprehensive portfolio of customizable, mix & match services. In
addition to repair and on-wing inspection, the service portfolio also includes management of a
pool of nacelles spare parts and assistance in optimizing maintenance schedules.
E – Technical Training
AFI KLM E&M Training provides effective technical training programs for a
large variety of aircraft types and engines. With over 50 years of training
experience, AFI KLM E&M guarantees high quality throughout its training
programs, which are designed to achieve an optimal balance between theory and practice.
AFI KLM E&M well-established operational background provides us with extensive
knowledge of aircraft component and engine technology. AFI KLM E&M focuses on
guaranteeing quality at competitive cost levels. Reliable high-quality training services and
strict regulatory compliance are guaranteed.
15

IV – Serving AIR FRANCE KLM group
sustainability
Sustainability in all its forms is central to AIR FRANCE KLM strategy. The Group has long
been committed to environmental protection, promoting ethical behaviour, and supporting
their communities. AFKL pursues a common policy, which the two airlines each apply
using their own procedures and mobilizing all their resources. In line with these intentions,
AFI KLM E&M brings to bear the diverse range of skills of its people in order to contribute
the Group’s five Corporate Social Responsibility priorities:
■
Combat climate change
■
Reduce its environmental footprint
■
Build a lasting relation with customers
■
Pursue a responsible Human Resources policy
■
Contribute to local and international development
A – Initiatives benefiting AFI KLM E&M clients
For many years now, AFI KLM E&M has been committed to a «green maintenance»
approach, which consists in combining responsibility, innovation and the search for results,
not only for the company but also for its environment and its stakeholders. This approach
has already led to many beneficial initiatives for Group clients, including:
■
In June 2013, Air France Industries was able to renew its Global and Unique
Certification for three years. For the past three years, AFI KLM E&M has benefited
from this certification dubbed «Unique» because it concerns the whole of
maintenance footprint in France, and «Global» because it embraces nine
international benchmark standards.

■
Leveraging continuous improvement for customers
No other MRO operator or player can lay claim to this certification. The successive
renewals also demonstrated proven mastery of aviation maintenance methods and
of the continuous improvement systems in place. In addition to endorsing the
optimization of MRO processes, the quality of the services delivered, and the
dynamic improvement of performance, this Certification is also a guarantee of AFI
KLM E&M’s trustworthiness for its customers.
■
An environmentally-friendly paint procedure
In partnership with the Mankiewicz Company of Germany, AFI KLM E&M has
developed a new aircraft painting method. This protects the environment and
improves occupational health & safety. The process uses chrome-free paint and
requires less paint and harmful solvents. Because the coats of paint are thinner also,
the aircraft are lighter and therefore burn less fuel, generating lower CO2 emissions.
■
■
Engine water wash
This maintenance process optimizes engine use, reduces fuel burn
and CO2 emissions, and extends an engine’s on-wing lifespan. On
the strength of its cutting-edge technology, AFI KLM E&M can wash
engines in the hangar during A or C-checks without prolonging AOG
time. The process is, naturally, carried out in an environmentally-friendly manner:
the water used is recovered at each wash for recycling.
Ecoshine®
All 250 aircraft in the Air France fleet, including its A380s, will
progressively be polished at Roissy Charles de Gaulle and Orly by
service provider UUDS using its damp depollution technique which
on average uses 8 cu.m. of water less per aircraft washed.
23
B – Eco-responsible innovations
In conjunction with AIR FRANCE KLM group strategy, AFI KLM E&M is continuously
improving the energy performance of its equipment and facilities. Strict environmental
criteria are taken into account whenever a decision concerning the launch of new
infrastructure is taken.
Several innovations illustrate this approach:
■
A program to recycle used aero engine parts has been set up in partnership with GE
in line with the «cradle-to-cradle» philosophy, under which everything is recovered
and nothing is thrown away.
■
Wherever technically possible, AFI KLM E&M installs solar panels on the roofs of its
buildings in a bid to reduce overall energy consumption.
■
Long-standing efforts to reduce AFI’s water consumption are more than ever a
reality. Over the past ten years accumulated savings of 352,000 cu.m. have been
achieved, or the equivalent of the annual water consumption of a French town with
a population of 30,000.
