AJW Aviation has signed a five year contract with SmartLynx, the Latvian based wet-lease and charter specialist. This new power by-the-hour agreement sees the relationship between AJW and SmartLynx extending to 2019, following on from a five year PBH agreement signed in 2009.
The European airline provides full charter operation for its home markets of Latvia and Estonia and also wet leases its fleet of A320-200 Airbus aircraft. The existing fleet of nine aircraft, plus a planned expansion to eleven this summer, will be covered within this agreement.
As part of this contract, AJW will base tailored spare parts inventories at numerous hubs which can be accessed as and when required. In addition, SmartLynx will benefit from AJW’s AOG coverage at almost all points of operation.
Declan Meagher, Director - Europe commented, “We are delighted to continue our successful relationship with SmartLynx. Following the tender process, SmartLynx chose AJW once again due to the organisation’s ability to handle large fleets, as well as our customer support and professionalism of staff. The high quality of our AOG Service was also a critical factor in SmartLynx awarding the contract to AJW.”
