21 September, 2018:: AAR , a global leader in aviation services based in Wood Dale, Illinois, has signed a full power-by-the-hour (PBH) support contract with Air New Zealand for the airline’s A320 fleet. The contract covers a total of 48 aircraft including 30 A320ceos and 18 A320neos.
“We are very pleased to expand our relationship with Air New Zealand and extend our component support to their A320 fleet,” said AAR’s Deepak Sharma, President, Integrated Solutions – Commercial. “Our capabilities continue to expand to meet our customers’ evolving needs in our fast-changing industry.”
In 2017, AAR designated Air New Zealand’s component centre as its Asia Pacific MRO of choice and the two companies successfully implemented a long-term repair contract. This new agreement also includes reciprocal repair work with Air New Zealand for the Asia-Pacific region.
