AJW Group has signed a component repair agreement between the US-based leisure carrier Allegiant Air (Allegiant) and the Group’s Montreal-based MRO facility, AJW Technique.

Allegiant has outlined growth plans that will see AJW supporting up to 100 aircraft by 2020.

The agreement is a fixed price repair contract that utilises quality focussed engineering practices to increase the on-wing life of the components and thus improve dispatch reliability.

The contract, which will be carried out at AJW’s 160,000 sq. ft. facility near Montreal’s International Airport, will provide Allegiant with access to a full pool of A320 forward exchange spares material.

“We have seen through our work with other low-cost carriers the transformational impact that can be achieved through a strategic approach to component MRO, and we are confident that we can further enable many of these benefits for Allegiant,” Gavin Simmonds, chief operating officer of AJW Group.
