During the Egypt International Airshow, the Arab Organization for Industrialization (AOI) received a supplier certificate from French aircraft engine manufacturer Safran Aircraft Engines. This certification follows a cooperation agreement signed in December 2023 for the maintenance, repair, and overhaul of the Larzac engine.

With this certification, AOI becomes a globally authorised and licensed company to support the engines of the Alpha Jet training and light attack aircraft. The maintenance work will be conducted at a new engine facility in Helwan, Egypt, employing 30 skilled workers.

“It is a great pleasure to celebrate today the inauguration of the Larzac engine overhaul line accredited by Safran Aircraft Engines at the AOI Engine Factory as the sole international certified supplier”, said Mokhtar Abdel Latif, chairman of the AOI. “This milestone adds to the record of accomplishments of the Arab Organization for Industrialization, and we look forward to further enhancing cooperation with Safran to build a distinguished industrial base that benefits our customers.”

“We are delighted to continue our cooperation with the Arab Organization for Industrialization as an official Safran Aircraft Engines approved MRO shop, said Christophe Bruneau, Vice President, Military Engines, Safran Aircraft Engines.We share a common commitment to excellence, and AOI’s engine workshop meets our strict quality standards. This major step with the Egyptian Industry is calling for further collaboration in aerospace and defence.”

Following successful audits by Safran Aircraft Engines experts at the AOI plant, the Egyptian company has been granted an approved licensee certificate for 10 years to perform repair and overhaul operations for all export customers of the Larzac engine. This agreement covers all engine versions, representing a global fleet of up to 280 Larzac engines.
