June 20, 2017

LE BOURGET, France -- Royal Air Maroc selected a five-year, TrueChoiceTM Overhaul agreement for the maintenance, repair and overhaul of the CF34-10E engines powering its four EMBRAER E190 aircraft. With this agreement, GE Aviation will be the service provider for all of Royal Air Maroc's GE engines.

"Royal Air Maroc and GE have developed a strong relationship, and this agreement demonstrates the airline's confidence in our service capabilities," said Jean Lydon-Rodgers, president and chief executive officer of GE Engine Services.

In addition to the CF34-powered E190s, Royal Air Maroc operates 37 CFM56-powered Boeing 737s, four CF6-80C2-powered Boeing 767s and one CF6-80C2-powered Boeing 747. In December, the airline received its fifth GEnx-powered Boing 787 Dreamliner.

Beyond engine and service support, GE Aviation and Royal Air Maroc are working together to advance the airline's innovation and digital strategies.
