PRESS RELEASE— Ryanair, Europe’s
no.1 airline, has today (11 Feb) announced an extension to its maintenance
agreement with Joramco, the MRO provider based in Jordan and the engineering
arm of Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) Ltd, which will see the airline
undertake 10 lines of heavy maintenance for the next 10 years at their MRO
facility in Amman, Jordan. Ryanair’s fleet will grow to over 800 aircraft by
the end of the decade and this agreement will ensure that the airline has
flexibility around where it places its aircraft for upcoming winter maintenance
seasons. The announcement comes this week after Joramco successfully completed
its 100th C check for Ryanair.

Joramco’s 110,000sq meter
facility will facilitate heavy maintenance of Ryanair’s aircraft as the airline
grows its fleet to 800 aircraft, including the airline’s recent 300 Boeing 737
MAX-10 order, which will see the airline grow to carry over 300m passengers per
year by 2034. These new, fuel-efficient, greener technology aircraft offer 21%
more seats, burn 20% less fuel, and are 50% quieter than Boeing 737-NGs.
Ryanair uses a
mix of internal facilities and external suppliers to conduct its heavy
maintenance. Ryanair continues to invest in its internal heavy maintenance
facilities and this agreement will complement these facilities to ensure that
maintenance requirements are more than met over the coming years.
Ryanair’s Chief Operations Officer,
Neal McMahon, said:“We are delighted to announce this
extended agreement for 10 maintenance lines with Joramco for the next 10 years.
Joramco has demonstrated excellent standards in its state-of-the-art
facilities, and we are pleased to extend our partnership with them for 10 maintenance lines for the next 10 years as we grow our
fleet to over 800 aircraft. The enduring strength of this relationship is
demonstrated this week as Joramco successfully completes 100 Ryanair aircraft C checks.”
Commenting on
this agreement, Joramco’s Chief Executive Officer Fraser Currie, added:
“Following the
successful completion of Joramco's 100th C check for Ryanair, we are
delighted to agree a further 10 years from 2024 for 10 maintenance lines. This
agreement reflects our commitment to delivering safe and reliable maintenance
services to Ryanair fleet, and this strategic move solidifies the partnership
between Ryanair and Joramco and ensures efficient and timely C checks for
Ryanair’s growing fleet.”
