Etihad Airways and Boeing signed an agreement to provide maintenance support for the airline's 787 fleet of wide-bodied jets, as part of a strategic partnership signed in November 2019.



The agreement covers a component services programme for more than 300 operational critical parts for Etihad's 787 fleet, a landing gear exchange programme that includes aircraft on ground coverage, high value airframe components and digital products, Etihad said in a statement on Wednesday.



"By partnering with Boeing as the OEM of Etihad's 787s, we ensure that the fleet receives the highest levels of maintenance support to increase reliability and efficiency," Mohammad Al Bulooki, Etihad Airways' chief operating officer, said. "This is an important demonstration of Etihad's ongoing focus toward the post-Covid world."



The 787 twin-engine aircraft is the backbone of Etihad's fleet.
