Flexibility and Scalability
The agreement will provide Ryanair with the flexibility to manage its maintenance needs effectively, particularly during winter maintenance seasons.
This operational flexibility is crucial for an airline of Ryanair’s scale and its intended growth trajectory.
Commitment to Quality
By partnering with Joramco in Amman, Ryanair reaffirms its commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety and reliability for its passengers.
Joramco has a track record of excellence and its state-of-the-art facilities align appropriately with Ryanair’s stringent quality requirements.
Advantages of Joramco’s Facilities
State-of-the-Art Infrastructure
Joramco boasts a sprawling 110,000 square meter facility equipped with advanced technology and infrastructure tailored for heavy maintenance tasks.
As Ryanair expands its fleet, Joramco’s extensive facilities provide ample capacity to accommodate the increased maintenance demands.
This scalability is vital for sustaining Ryanair’s growth momentum without compromising on maintenance quality.
Innovation and Sustainability
With Ryanair’s recent order of 300 Boeing 737 MAX-10 aircraft, Joramco’s commitment to innovation and sustainability becomes even more relevant.
The airline projects it will grow to carry over 300m passengers per year by 2034. These new, fuel-efficient, greener technology aircraft offer 21% more seats, burn 20% less fuel, and are 50% quieter than Boeing 737-NGs.
Overall, the new aircraft present significant advantages in terms of fuel efficiency and environmental sustainability, aligning with Ryanair’s broader plan for greener operations.
