Airbus' Flight Hour Services (FHS) to support Fly Gangwon’s A330 operations

Atlanta, United States, 29 March 2023 – Fly Gangwon has signed for Airbus Flight Hour Services to support its A330 fleet.

Under the agreement, Airbus’ FHS solution offers the highest standards of aircraft technical dispatch and operations, and supports the South Korean low-cost carrier in areas of component availability and repair, as well as fleet technical management to optimise aircraft availability and guarantee on-time performance. 

The multi-year, maintenance-by-the-hour contract covers integrated component services, including on-site stock, pool access, and repair services. The airline will also benefit from Airbus’ engineering expertise and FHS local representatives in Korea to support the daily maintenance activities.

Fly Gangwon became a new A330 operator when it took delivery of the aircraft, a -200 variant, in November 2022. The A330 began operations in February this year flying domestically. Fly Gangwon will extend A330 services to regional destinations, including points in South East Asia and subsequently long-haul services to Europe and the west coast of North America.

“We are pleased to announce this new agreement with Fly Gangwon following the recent entry-into-service of their A330. With the A330, Fly Gangwon will be able to increase capacity and open new routes across the Asia region. Under the FHS agreement, Airbus will provide the highest level of engineering and maintenance support to ensure optimum operational efficiency,” said Raymond Lim, Airbus Head of Customer Services for Asia-Pacific.
