Virgin Australia has selected Delta TechOps to provide fleetwide component support for its more than 100 Boeing 737NG and 737 MAX aircraft, expanding a on an existing maintenance relationship and further growing TechOps’ presence in the Asia-Pacific region.

The five-year agreement covers airframe components along with engine components for both the CFM56-7B and CFM LEAP-1B engines. Delta TechOps teams will perform the work primarily in Atlanta and Minneapolis with logistics support from Virgin Australia in Singapore, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. TechOps previously supported the airline's CFM56-7B engines and completed component repairs across its fleet

“Virgin Australia’s 737s are central to its operation, and we appreciate the confidence placed in Delta TechOps to support this fleet. As an airline operator ourselves, we understand what aircraft availability means to a schedule and to the customers who depend on it. Our teams bring that perspective — along with deep technical expertise across the CFM56-7B and LEAP-1B — to every component we support,” said Marc Meredith, Chief Commercial Officer for Delta TechOps.

The selection reflects Delta’s growing reach in the Asia-Pacific region. Delta Air Lines recently expanded its presence in Australia with the launch of Los Angeles-Melbourne service and now serves Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Delta TechOps also continues to broaden its support of airline customers across the Pacific, including providing maintenance for Korean Air’s CFM LEAP-1B engines, the same engine family that powers Virgin Australia’s Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.

Backed by the experience of maintaining one of the world's largest airline fleets, TechOps supports more than 150 customers across six continents. As North America's largest MRO provider, TechOps services more than 100,000 aircraft components annually through 25 in-house component shops and remains the only provider in the Americas certified to support the CFM LEAP, Pratt & Whitney GTF and Rolls-Royce Trent engine families.
