London, 1 September 2011: Air Europa, Spain’s second largest airline, has chosen A J Walter Aviation to provide power-by-the-hour support for its Airbus A330 Trent engine component accessories. This five-year agreement for two aircraft is AJW’s first contract with Air Europa. The agreement commenced in June and includes the location of a Main Base Kit in Madrid to support the airline’s operational efficiency.
“It was our speed, flexibility and willingness to invest in specific A330 Rolls Royce Trent engine components for Air Europa as part of AJW’s larger A330 investment programme that secured us the contract” commented Colin Craig, Director of Contract Services. AJW is the world’s largest independent provider of integrated aircraft support solutions for components, engines and consumables with complete flexibility when it comes to operational and commercial decisions.
