Spairliners awarded by HOP! for E-Jet after-sales component services
Spairliners GmbH has announced its new contract with the French
regional airline HOP! which includes the long term support of 26
Embraer 170 and 190 aircraft. Two months ago, Spairliners, known as
the market leader for Airbus A380 Integrated Component Care, has
added an equal spectrum for the E-Jet family of the Brazilian
manufacturer Embraer to its portfolio. With the latest contract the
company now has ten regional airlines under contract.
With its new E-Jet inventory and continual development within the
project, Spairliners receives full support from two well respected
MRO providers (Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance
and Lufthansa Technik) and their comprehensive spare part stock.
Martine Selezneff, Regional CEO at HOP! explains: “HOP! is a very
demanding customer regarding its suppliers, with a specific focus on
their service level. We renewed our trust in Spairliners as they
proved to be the right supplier for HOP! being able to meet all our
requirements.” Spairliners enables its customers unlimited access to
1,100 part numbers (P/N) of the Embraer aircraft type including
repairs invoiced per flight hour.
“The expansion of our portfolio by integrating E-Jet component
services is the result of our continuous success with our A380
Integrated Component Care program. This success has enabled us to
take on a new challenge and allows us to grow with the addition of
Embraer airline customers,” Andre Schulte-Bisping, CFO at
Spairliners, says. “The after-sales component services for E-Jets is
an integral part of our growth strategy,” summarizes CEO, Olivier
Mazzucchelli. “Our approved business model now brings out an
advantageous solution for all E-Jet operating airlines and
additionally, an alternative to the original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs). We are expecting to have more than 200 E-Jet aircraft under
contract in 2014, including E-Jets from our mother companies Air
France KLM and Lufthansa.”
