, Chinese aviation infrastructure major Aviation Industries Corporation of China (AVIC) is pursuing a different strategy. AVIC is instead seeking to unseat SAMCO Aircraft Maintenance Netherlands as the MRO provider for the carrier’s fleet of Mitsubishi CRJ-900s.
A Chinese delegation was in Uganda recently to meet Uganda Airlines management. However, instead of pitching the ARJ-21 as had been largely anticipated, AVIC instead submitted proposals for taking on maintenance of the CRJ-900s.
Details of AVIC’s proposal were not immediately available. Still, Uganda Airlines has said it, on average, spends $3 million annually on maintaining its combined fleet of CRJs and Airbus A330-800. Maintenance is outsourced to SAMCO Aircraft Maintenance Netherlands for the CRJs, while South African Airways Technical is responsible for the A330-800. The current status of the service contracts is not known.
