Afriqiyah Airways has signed 10-year OnPointSM solution agreement for the maintenance, repair and overhaul of its CFM56-5B engine fleet. The agreement is valued at more than $50 million (USD) over the life of the contract.

"We are very pleased to select GE Aviation as our MRO provider for the repair and maintenance of the CFM56-5B engines to our fleet," said Eng Rammah Ettir, CEO of Afriqiyah Airways.
