Satair and Transavia France enter long-term contract for supply chain solution

Airbus services company Satair has entered into a long-term contract with Transavia France. The deal will see Satair supply its integrated material services (IMS) supply chain solution to the low-cost airline. ""We anticipate significant benefits from entrusting our supply chain operations to them, allowing us to free up resources to focus on our core mission of providing our customers with the best flying experience,"" said Transavia France SVP fleet, engineering & maintenance Sylvain Fagot. ""We look forward to the IMS solution playing a key role in supporting Transavia’s continuous and successful Airbus fleet ramp-up,"" said Satair CCO Paul Lochab. The Air France-KLM Group airline placed an order for 100 Airbus A320neo family aircraft, with an option for an additional 60, in 2021. It received its first A320neo aircraft in January this year. The solution will enhance Transavia’s operational processes by increasing the availability of spare parts while simultaneously reducing supply chain costs. The IMS solution will manage the entire supply chain, including forecasting, planning, purchasing, and delivery, ensuring that all airframe expendables are covered and the scope can expand as necessary to meet Transavia’s evolving requirements.
