US tech firm Zeevo and UK-based AMS Aircraft Services have announced a strategic alliance aimed to deploy the companies’ capabilities, tech tools, and know-how to deliver commercial aircraft technical services to clients in the Americas and globally.

Citing a number of headwinds affecting the global aviation sector  Joey Johnsen, Zeevo  chief executive said,  that “these challenges necessitate greater diligence by all stakeholders in the aircraft financing, leasing ,and operating chain to  understand their fleets and have the right processes and technical support procedures in place to expediently react to arising situations in asset management, as well as aircraft maintenance and transitions.”

“Lessors, operators, and asset managers are now savvier in lease negotiations, and oftentimes their well-negotiated contract terms result in the “creation of intricate return conditions,” adds Scott Kopacz, who heads Zeevo’s aircraft technical practice. “Not acknowledging these conditions years before the scheduled return can have a significant operational impact.”

The firm’s said that by combining  technical capabilities and technology, the strategic alliance was looking to deliver technical support services covering pre-delivery, mid-term, and redelivery inspections, either as stand-alone services or as part of turnkey delivery and redelivery support for financiers, lessors, and operators.

Mike Skinner, Chief Executive Officer of AMS Aircraft Services, said that the relationship “will further advance AMS’ local presence in key markets and enhance the support through combining the companies’ offerings to their aviation clients. The joint aim is to minimize clients’ risks, delays, and overall costs.”

“Teaming up with Zeevo will enhance our aircraft management solutions, expand core competencies and provide an established presence in the Americas, Europe, Middle East and Africa to serve our respective clients,” said Skinner.
