Easyjet has signed a £30 million contract to cover the engine maintenance of a number of its 737 aircraft.
The Stansted-based airline has awarded the three-year contract to aviation engineering company Pratt and Whitney. It will cover the engine maintenance and overhaul needs of its fleet of 36 737-300.
The work will be carried out at Pratt and Whitney's engine centre in Norway.
Graeme Crawford, general manager of the engine centre, said: "We are delighted to receive this vote of confidence from EasyJet, a very successful European operator and quality service provider."
Ray Webster, EasyJet's chief executive, added: "The deals we have just signed will generate meaningful savings and lock in industry leading turnaround times critical for a high asset utilisation operation like EasyJet's."
