Teboul will continue to develop the commercial presence of AFI KLM E&M and its network with operators, customers and partners around the world.

“On behalf of Air France-KLM Engineering & Maintenance, it is with great emotion that I thank Fabrice Defrance for his great dedication during these many years,” said Anne Brachet, EVP Air France-KLM Engineering & Maintenance. “Under his leadership, our services have been greatly developed through careful listening of our customers. In the current context, it is more important than ever to work in a mindset of partnership and listening. I know that Pierre Teboul will give his best to continue the work already accomplished and endeavour to build ever stronger relationships with our clients and partners.”
Teboul added: “I will put my knowledge at the service of AFI KLM E&M’s customers by measuring the work already accomplished, the humility that the period imposes on us and, above all, the greatest enthusiasm. On behalf of AFI KLM E&M: Listening, developing and proposing the best solutions for the aviation business, this is what will guide me in the coming years alongside our customers.”
