Travel Service Airlines has chosen AJW Aviation to provide power-by-the-hour support for another five years.
This five year extension will now provide support for its fleet of 27 aircraft comprising B737-700 and B737-800. The contract will also continue to include free access to AJW parts, held at the airline’s Central European support and logistics centre in Prague; allowing for quick and easy distribution of spares, as well as providing ‘C’ checks and comprehensive Boeing spares inventory. The value of the on-site stock will also gradually be increased to $15 million over time, to accommodate the growing fleet and save on AOG logistical costs.
Travel Service Airlines was started in 2007 and is leader in the chartered flight market in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland. Since 2004 Travel Service has also been operating regular flights under the SmartWings brand as well as private flights since 2007.
Roman Vik, CEO of Travel Service Airlines explains why power-by-the-hour provides ideal support for the operation. “During the course of a year, Travel Service aircraft land at more than 250 airports on four continents so we need a global support team that we can count on to maintain optimum efficiency with predicable operational costs. Since 2007 AJW Aviation has helped Travel Service Airlines build our reputation for reliability and value and we rely on their support 24/7.”.
“AJW is delighted to continue its relationship with Travel Service Airlines” affirms Christopher Whiteside, President of AJW Aviation. “Our growing affiliation with Central Europe is going from strength to strength and this demonstrates AJW’s outstanding value for money and excellent customer service that is embodied within AJW PBH support contracts.”
