AJW Group, an independent specialist in the global management of aircraft spares, has been awarded a power-by-the-hour (PBH) contract with TAP Maintenance & Engineering, a global MRO provider and part of the TAP Group.

The contract, which takes effect from this month, builds on a long-standing relationship between AJW Group and TAP Maintenance & Engineering and includes the sale of engine parts and other rotables. AJW Group will now support TAP with the supply, repair and overhaul of rotable components on two A320neo aircraft operated by Azores Airlines.

Christopher Whiteside, President and CEO of AJW Group, said: “AJW is seeing increasing demand for its flexible PBH contracts, and the diverse component coverage, expertise and 24/7/365 AOG service they deliver.”

Mario Lobato Faria, Chief Technical Officer at TAP Maintenance & Engineering, commented: “AJW’s support will be instrumental in ensuring that Azores Airlines’ fleet of A320neo aircraft, which is one of the most modern in the world, operates with maximum efficiency.”
