Air Astana, Kazakhstan's award winning national carrier, continues to develop a strong relationship with OGMA (Indústria Aeronáutica de Portugal, S.A), a leading Portuguese MRO company that specialises in supporting Embraer commercial and business aircraft types. OGMA has completed C-checks on all nine of Air Astana's Embraer 190 aircraft since the contract was established in March 2016. The relationship now extends to covering the upgrade of the IFE systems across the Embraer fleet.

Air Astana's trust in our services strengthens our position in the worldwide market, reinforcing our competitiveness and flexibility to attend to the multiple challenges that characterise the commercial aviation market," says Nelson Vaz, Chief Commercial Officer of OGMA.
