Overview
- Announced at the MRO Americas expo in Orlando, the deal expands Delta TechOps’ repair network for Airbus A320-family jets.
- The agreement routes an initial set of A320 components to LATAM’s São Carlos maintenance base with Delta as the single commercial contact.
- Delta will set engineering standards and run quality oversight as LATAM’s technicians carry out the repairs in Brazil.
- The collaboration still requires regulatory approval in Brazil, with a phased start targeted for the second quarter of 2026.
- Demand is high because more than 12,000 A320-family aircraft fly worldwide, and the partners plan to grow the repair portfolio to serve Delta and other airlines.
