Boeing and International Airlines Group (IAG) have signed two agreements that will provide key services for IAG's British Airways, including parts for the airline's Airbus A320 family and its Boeing 777 fleet.
Boeing will furnish British Airways with its component services program where Boeing and its partners will own, manage, and maintain a global exchange inventory of parts for the airline's A320 and A320neo aircraft.
British Airways has also signed an agreement for three Landing Gear Exchanges for its 777 fleet. Through the program, operators receive an overhauled and certified landing gear from an exchange pool maintained by Boeing, with stocked components and supporting parts shipping within 24 hours.
"We are proud to have the opportunity to serve British Airways' needs regardless of platform," said Ihssane Mounir, senior vice president of commercial sales & marketing for The Boeing Company. "In partnership with our partners and repair providers, we look forward to leveraging the strength of our global supply chain's aftermarket resources to support British Airways and help them operate even more efficiently.
