Semmco Wins Contract With JetBlue Airways

Aug. 9, 2019
The contract will be delivered over the next 12 months and represents Semmco’s first major order since opening its U.S. office and manufacturing facility in January 2019.

Semmco Inc. is pleased to announce its contract with JetBlue, a major carrier in the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean. Semmco Inc. will be supplying access platforms and ground support equipment to JetBlue line stations across the U.S. The contract will be delivered over the next 12 months and represents Semmco’s first major order since opening its U.S. office and manufacturing facility in January 2019.

Semmco’s bid proved successful in the competitive contract process and was recognized for its complete range of equipment and capabilities for the Airbus A320 family. Semmco’s equipment is designed by engineers for engineers and offers new innovations in aviation maintenance for the American market.

In June, Semmco delivered eight access platforms to its first line station in Palm Beach, Florida. This forms part of the total order of 151 units that Semmco will be providing to 11 line stations in states across America, including California, Virginia, New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts.

Stuart McOnie, managing director at Semmco, commented; “We are absolutely delighted to have secured this major contract with one of America’s leading airlines and look forward to working with the JetBlue team to deliver the project in the coming months.” Stuart continued; “It is another proud milestone for us and a testament to our US team, who are successfully delivering the project and further developing our global customer base.”

Discussing the new American office and manufacturing facility, Stuart said; “In the last few years we have been inundated with requests from North American companies, and it made sense to expand the business and open a new facility in the region. Our US facility will help us to meet growing demand and grow our customer relationships, supporting their aircraft maintenance and access needs.”

Semmco has been supplying ground support equipment solutions for narrow and wide bodied aircraft for over 25 years. The new US facility provides local support and servicing to its North American clients, including Air Canada, Delta, American Airlines and now JetBlue.
