Turkish low-cost carrier Pegasus has chosen AJW Aviation to provide full power-by-the-hour services for its current fleet of A320s. The multi-year contract has the option to expand with the fleet over the next decade. AJW will also locate extensive main base kit at the Pegasus facility in Istanbul’s Sabiha Gökçen Airport, the operational centre for all their domestic and international flights.
“An important factor for Pegasus is AJW’s commitment to placing rotable inventory in Istanbul” says Colin Craig, Commercial Director – AJW Aviation. “They will have their own exclusive stock of A320 Classic Aircraft spares ensuring premium service and minimising AOGs. We are also providing complementary pool inventory for Pegasus and this will offer accessibility to our other customers in the region. A spares hub in Istanbul, on the Europe/Asia crossroads, is a sound logistical move for AJW and will help sustain our global reputation for 24/7/365 AOG service.”
Tahsin Istanbullu, Director, CAMO – Part M for Pegasus Airlines, says. “Pegasus’ low-cost model leads the way in Turkey. We operate an affordable and flexible pricing policy that considers quality and customer satisfaction. We are continually developing to meet passenger expectations and priorities, and to do this we must innovate and align our cost base. Serving a global customer base of more than 1,000 airlines in 42 different countries, AJW Aviation has the experience in PBH that will bring immediate benefits and operational efficiencies that will help us find new ways to improve our service. Pegasus operates Turkey’s youngest fleet with the newest aircraft.”
