Airbus Corporate Jet Centre (ACJC), the specialist in Airbus Corporate Jet VIP cabin completion and customised nose-to-tail services, has signed a VIP Pass (ACJ Engine Care) agreement for an ACJ319 operated by NEXUS Flight Operations Services, the exclusively licensed flight operations services company in Saudi Arabia.
NEXUS Flight Operations Services’ selection of ACJC as its preferred provider of engine support for its ACJ319 gives it greater value, by providing comprehensive coverage for five years of private operations.
The ACJ Engine Care program is provided through a dedicated partnership between Airbus Corporate Jet Centre and Snecma (Safran), the leading provider of maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services for CFM56 engines. This programme offers “peace of mind” solutions to NEXUS Flight Operations Services through a power-by-the-hour support agreement, plus the added benefits of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) expertise, quality, and standards.
“ACJC’s VIP Pass ensures that our Airbus ACJ319’s engines will be looked after by the companies that know them best,” says Abdullah Al-Sayed, President & CEO “as we deliver nothing less when it comes to serving our clientele and their aviation needs.”
“This contract follows several working parties we completed on NEXUS’ ACJ319 earlier this year. We also know this aircraft very well since we completed its VIP cabin in 2009. This is proof of our customer’s confidence in our ability to meet its requirements”, says ACJC General Manager Joel Frugier. “This operator has joined the community of ACJC customers we have built in the Middle-East, where ACJC has a strong presence in terms of outfitting and maintenance achievements”.
The ACJ Engine Care programme is a key part of VIP Pass, a set of solutions for ACJ Operators that provides a simple and cost-effective answer customised to private and government operations. Services available include Airbus corporate jet:
- CAMO / FTM service
- Engine Care
- Maintenance and Upgrades
- Component Support (extended pool access & repairs)
- Field Support Representative
- Cabin Upgrades and Refurbishments
VIP PASS is “unique” as it is the only support solution for ACJ Operators provided by a single source supplier that can manage and secure all the aspects that an ACJ Operator may need, based on pre-agreed broad contractual commitments, predictable costs with fixed prices (monthly or per flight hour), and services performed by an Airbus company specialized in VIP cabin completion and MRO services.
