Eastern Airlines Technic (EASTEC) and Thales renewed their Maintenance Partnership Agreement, strengthening their collaboration to provide maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services.

This contract extension follows a successful collaboration between the two companies since 2018. This represents another important milestone in the decade-long relationship between EASTEC and Thales.

Thales will continue to support EASTEC and to enhance its maintenance capabilities. Maintenance and repair services for the next five years will be provided by Thales for its avionics equipment on China Eastern Airlines' A320, A330 and B737 fleet.

On November 12th, 2024, EASTEC and Thales renewed their Partnership Agreement at a signing ceremony held at the 15th Airshow in Zhuhai China. Maintenance and repair services will be provided by Thales through 2029 for its avionics equipment installed on China Eastern Airlines' A320, A330, and B737 fleet. This contract extension follows a successful collaboration between the two companies that started in 2018. This is another important milestone in the decade-long relationship between the two companies and a demonstration of the trust in Thales's premium service quality and commitment to serve the growing aviation market in China.

Services will be delivered by both Thales Aerospace Beijing Co., Ltd. - Thales local maintenance center in China, and Thales Aviation Global Services (AGS) center in Singapore. Together, they will provide comprehensive support for China Eastern.

Since its first selection of Thales avionics equipment in 2014, China Eastern has equipped 270 A320 aircraft with Thales Flight Management Systems (FMS), Low Range Radio Altimeters (LRRA) and T3CAS integrated surveillance solution. In 2018, China Eastern and Thales also signed a Strategic Maintenance Cooperation Agreement, solidifying their comprehensive partnership.

Thales is at the forefront of innovation and ready to meet the evolving demands of the aviation industry.

Thomas Got, Vice President of Aviation Global Services, Thales Avionics said, We are proud to strengthen our collaboration with EASTEC, reinforcing our position as a trusted partner in the region. At Thales, we leverage our global expertise to deliver high-quality premium solutions to EASTEC and our local customers and partners.
