Azorra and Delta Material Services (DMS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines, have entered into a new agreement to part out a used A220-300 aircraft.
The Florida-based leasing company stated that this agreement with DMS is designed to help address parts shortages, which have been contributing to the ongoing global Aircraft on Ground (AOG) challenges.
Ron Baur, president at Azorra, said: “This strategic partnership with DMS is a clear example of Azorra’s creativity in helping alleviate the challenges seen across commercial aviation today. Airlines globally are working through AOG disruptions and we’re proud to play a role in helping our partners overcome these.”
The former EgyptAir plane, which has been delivered and is currently undergoing teardown, is being used to support the repair needs of Delta Air Lines’ fleet and other airlines worldwide by providing A220-300 parts.
In addition, Azorra is leasing the engines to Delta to support its existing A220 fleet.
