MAAS Aviation has secured a renewed multi-year agreement with easyJet, reinforcing a long-standing partnership built on quality, efficiency and trusted performance. The extension ensures the specialist MRO will continue repainting the airline’s A320 family fleet at its Maastricht facility from the 2025/26 season.

Richard Marston, Chief Commercial Officer at MAAS Aviation, emphasised the significance of the renewed agreement: “We are proud to name easyJet as a long-term partner. The extension of their aircraft painting programme is testament to our streamlined processes which deliver aircraft finished to the highest OEM quality standards at the optimum TATs this leading operator demands.”

The collaboration, which began in 2020, has evolved into a close operational relationship. Marston notes that the experience and commitment of the MAAS team, combined with strong support from easyJet’s Engineering & Appearance Management team, has been central to the programme’s success. “We have established a strong and transparent partnership with easyJet and have regular contact to ensure complete alignment of working procedures. This allows us to deliver superior standards of painting whilst maintaining rapid turnaround times. We are very pleased to extend our relationship with easyJet and look forward to painting many more of their aircraft in the years ahead.”

easyJet shares this confidence. Sophie Michelson, Aircraft Appearance Manager, said the airline is pleased to continue its work with MAAS Aviation: “MAAS continue to demonstrate the highest standards of exterior paint application which has helped us to achieve industry leading exterior paint processes and finish.

“easyJet is committed to ensuring the highest standards of aircraft appearance, whilst continuously working on gains to reduce carbon emissions. Since 2019, MAAS have proven their commitment to help us deliver our objectives; we look forward to delivering further improvements and developing our partnership as our fleet grows.”
