Bird Aviation signs long-term maintenance deal with easyJet

Bird Aviation announced on July 29, 2026, that it has secured a major long-term contract with the airline easyJet. The agreement establishes a seven-year commitment for scheduled aircraft maintenance, with an optional three-year extension, effectively cementing a partnership that aims to secure the company’s operational future in Cyprus.

The contract specifically covers two maintenance lines dedicated to heavy checks for easyJet’s Airbus A320 fleet. All maintenance procedures are slated to occur at Bird Aviation’s facilities in Larnaca, further establishing the site as a key regional aviation maintenance hub. By formalizing this stable framework, the agreement serves to support easyJet’s fleet maintenance program while reinforcing the operational importance of the Larnaca base.

This deal builds upon a pre-existing long-standing relationship between the two entities. While easyJet continues to navigate a challenging financial environment despite positive summer booking trends, this partnership ensures the continued reliability of its technical support network. No further litigation or immediate regulatory actions were mentioned regarding the deal, and operations are expected to proceed under the established multi-year timeline.
