Thales and Malaysia Airlines have signed a long-term service agreement for the maintenance of Thales avionics products on the airline’s A330neo aircraft.
Under this agreement, Thales will manage the repair of its avionics components and ensure spare parts availability. Stock will be maintained at Malaysia Airlines’ main hub and Thales’ Asia-Pacific repair facility in Singapore, supporting aircraft performance and fleet reliability.
This Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) contract follows Thales’ supply of Flight Management and Surveillance systems for Malaysia Airlines’ A330neo aircraft in 2024. As the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), Thales will provide high-quality repair services to enhance operational efficiency and reduce maintenance costs.
Thales’s Aviation Global Services (AGS) division offers comprehensive airline support, including 24/7 Aircraft on Ground (AOG) assistance, maintenance, repairs, technical support, training, parts trading, and line maintenance. Thales also provides cost-effective maintenance programs such as Repair by the Hour (RBTH) and asset availability solutions.
Malaysia Airlines previously selected Thales’ Flight Management and Surveillance systems for its A330neo fleet, reinforcing the partnership between the two companies.
“Thales is proud to announce this new agreement with Malaysia Airlines that demonstrates our strong partnership and underscores our shared commitment to operational excellence,” said Thomas Got, Vice President of Aviation Global Services, Thales Avionics. “We thank Malaysia Airlines for their trust. Our deep expertise in avionics repair and support makes Thales a leading MRO in Asia with innovative and premium support services.”
