Red Sea Airlines, one of Egypt’s newest carriers, has partnered with Fokker Services Group (FSG) for its Boeing 737NG fleet maintenance under the Nose-to-Tail (NTT) program. The collaboration was announced on October 16, 2024, during the MRO Europe event in Barcelona.
FSG’s NTT program offers a comprehensive range of component exchange services for Red Sea Airlines, ensuring seamless fleet operations and supporting the airline’s growth. The program covers critical components such as Integrated Drive Generators (IDGs), engine accessories, hydraulic actuators, valves, and cockpit controls.
“FSG has proven to be the reliable and adaptable partner we needed to ensure component availability for our high-demand business model,” said Hazem Soltan, Technical Services and Contract Manager at Red Sea Airlines. “This partnership will be pivotal to our expansion strategy.”
Leon Kouters, FSG’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, expressed pride in the collaboration, stating, “We are committed to delivering excellence in the Boeing 737NG aftermarket. Having Red Sea Airlines as our first Egyptian partner is an honor and reinforces our mission to support the global aviation industry.”
Founded in September 2022, Red Sea Airlines operates non-scheduled passenger services to destinations across Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia, including cities like Dubai, Paris, Madrid, Naples, and Tashkent.
The airline has achieved several milestones this year, including IOSA certification in January and membership in the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in April, joining eight other carriers such as Air Hongkong and Greater Bay Airlines.
At the Egypt International Airshow in September, Red Sea Airlines announced the addition of two Boeing 737-800s to its fleet of three, all configured with 189 seats. The airline plans to leverage these aircraft to expand its services, particularly to Western Europe and the Middle East, further solidifying its presence in the aviation market.
