OEMServices SAS (previously known as SAVE GIE), commonly referred to as OEMS, is a French enterprise dedicated to maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO), logistics, and customer service for commercial aviation. It functions as a collaborative venture between leading aerospace firms Safran, Thales, Diehl, and Liebherr, acting as their specialized subsidiary for Aircraft on Ground (AOG) support and component MRO.

Established in 2009 by Zodiac Aerospace, Thales, Diehl, and Liebherr—each owning an equal 25% share—the company integrated into the Safran group following Safran’s acquisition of Zodiac Aerospace in 2018. OEMServices is committed to improving aircraft dependability and operational efficiency by providing services including AOG desk assistance, access to inventory pools, and advanced predictive maintenance.

Services and clients

Serving as the MRO interface for its four parent corporations, OEMServices focuses on aircraft maintenance operations, AOG Desk Support, performance and reliability tracking, alongside inventory and pool management within the aviation sector.

OEMServices competes directly with entities such as Lufthansa Technik, Airbus FHS, and the Engineering & MRO divisions of Air France-KLM. Its service offerings to airlines encompass Repair-by-the-Hour, Time & Material, and Flat Rate maintenance contracts. The company maintains exclusive partnerships with a range of both traditional and low-cost airlines.

Its exclusive fleet support roster includes:

  • Air Senegal

  • BeOnd
  • Egyptair
  • Emirates
  • Ethiopian Airlines
  • Etihad Airways
  • Japan Airlines
  • Nouvelair

In addition to subcontracted component maintenance, OEMServices delivers maintenance under general contractual terms. Since 2020, it has broadened its portfolio by providing tax representation services for international OEMs entering French and European markets.

By 2021, the company has been advancing its predictive maintenance solutions aimed at boosting reliability and optimizing supply chain performance.

Location

As of 2022, OEMServices operates on a global scale. Initially based in France, the firm shifted its headquarters from Orly Airport to Paris Roissy CDG. Its international expansion includes subsidiaries established in Piscataway, Atlanta (GA) since 2017, Singapore from 2019, and an office in Dubai through its parent company Liebherr. By 2021, additional facilities were set up in Shanghai, China.
