With this contract, Safran Nacelles commits to the repair of the nacelles and the general service of the thrust reverser at the time of their programmed removals with the support of its network of experts for on-site nacelle inspections and its Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) centres.

Alain Berger, Safran Nacelles' Executive Vice President - Sales & Marketing commented: "I am delighted that Corsair is renewing its trust in Safran Nacelles following their first contract on their Airbus A330ceo nacelle fleet in 2019.
