Finnair Technical Services and complete aircraft spares specialist, A J Walter Aviation, have signed a contract for MD11 component support. Finnair has been operating this aircraft type for several years now and is already actively supporting third party operators.

With over 350 modern Airbus and Boeing commercial aircraft under contract, AJW has substantial purchasing power across its preferred supplier network. Offering a portfolio of PBH, serviced lease, loan and exchange products AJW already provides a range of tailored, flexible and competitively priced component services to many customers around the world.
