The AJW Group is recognised for its flexible approach across all aircraft support options and the engine management service (EMS) programme for NordStar combines special introductory rates and volume discounts. “The EMS service we offer is a tailored service whereby we continuously update the customer regarding all processes on a daily basis. In addition, we challenge the MRO to justify their repair choices keeping everyone focused” says Morgan Brown, Powerplant Engineer – AJW Engines. “This approach not only helps to safeguard the airline from unnecessary expense but also ensures they operate at maximum efficiency and safety.

“When AJW supplies a replacement engine part on behalf of NordStar from our comprehensive stock, each part is accompanied by complete industry standard paperwork. Our main objective is to keep the shop visit costs for NordStar to a minimum. We ensure the agreed turn-around-times are adhered to, and that the optimum performance to achieve the longest on-wing time is achieved.”
