AJW maintains PBH support for JSC UTair Aviation

Russian airline JSC UTair Aviation has chosen to extend its power-by-the-hour (PBH) support contract with AJW Aviation for an additional 20 A320s and three B767 aircraft.

The initial contract which was signed in April 2013 was to provide power-by-the-hour support for the airline’s fleet of 37 B737-500 and B737-400 aircraft.

This extended PBH contract, which is also supported by ATA Chapters and includes a large home base stock purchase, will bring the combined fleet that AJW has under PBH or pooling contract to over 400 aircraft globally. AJW will support the airline from its network of strategic hubs across Europe and the rest of the world, which comprise service ready Boeing and Airbus component inventories valued at almost $500m.
