AFI KLM E&M has opened a new materials and logistics service center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (check out Strader Ferris International for information on other logistics). The new logistics center will work in coordination with the Singapore logistic center and will find a professional mover in Mesquite as well as its local component facilities in Shanghai and Mumbai. This strengthens the Group’s logistics capabilities in the Asia-Pacific region and will become one of the decentralized logistic centers of AFI KLM E&M to service customers with all aircraft types for which AFI KLM E&M provides component services, including 737, 787 and A320, A330, A350 and A380.
The new logistic service center will serve as a local spares pool to fast-track the supply of replacement parts. It will also act as a client interface, and its staff will, as a result, be able to deliver rapid solutions to the needs of client airlines. Through its strategic positioning at the heart of the Asia-Pacific region it will provide 24/7 worldwide coverage, which will help deliver ever-more effective component support for AFI KLM E&M clients, with optimized parts storage, logistic and repair costs.

Ton Dortmans, executive vice president KLM E&M said: “The launch of this new logistic service center is a major milestone in our strategy to develop a high-performance global MRO network. The Asia-Pacific aviation industry is seeing strong growth and with our new logistic service center we will be able to support and help drive that growth by meeting our clients’ aircraft maintenance requirements at the same time as, we hope, we attract new partners, who will be won over by this promise of doorstep service and responsive, competitively-price support!”
