en.Wedoany.com Reported - CMA CGM Group plans to strengthen its air cargo business by acquiring French aircraft maintenance company Crystal Aero Solutions. The Marseille-based transport and logistics group has signed a preliminary acquisition agreement, subject to completion of employee consultation procedures, with financial terms undisclosed.

Headquartered at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, with operations also in Brussels and Liège, Crystal Aero Solutions specializes in line maintenance and light repair services for cargo and passenger aircraft.
