FL Technics has signed a four-year long CAMO support agreement with Somon Air, the first private airline in Tajikistan. FL Technics will also provide the carrier with engine condition monitoring services.
Under the long-term agreement, FL Technics will support the Tajikistani carrier’s Boeing 737NG and CL fleet with complete Continuing Airworthiness Management services. FL Technics will assist Somon Air in the process of setting up and implementing Commsoft‘s OASES MRO IT system, which the company feels will make a step towards the launch of an in-house Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization. At a later stage FL Technics is to provide Somon Air consulting services related to aircraft engineering, maintenance and shop visits. Currently, the Tajikistani carrier operates a fleet of two Boeing 737CL and four Boeing 737NG.
“We have been working with Somon Air for several years now, and we are very grateful for the trusting cooperation between our companies,” comments Kestutis Volungevicius, head of Engineering and Training at FL Technics. ”Now, both parties are ready to open a new chapter in the relationship. Together with Commsoft we will help Somon Air implement one of the most efficient CAMO systems whilst the entire process will be supported by our highly skilled and experienced professionals.” See related story page 10.

Apart from the cooperation in the CAMO area, FL Technics will support Somon Air with engine condition monitoring services allowing to track the performance of CFM56-3 and CFM56-7 engines.
