AJW Turkey will deliver the full suite of AJW’s support solutions to companies in Turkey and the wider region with the intention to transform their aviation efficiency.
AJW Group, an independent aircraft component parts, repair, and supply chain solutions provider, announced the opening of a new regional support hub and office located in Istanbul. The newly established facility is named AJW Turkey. According to the company, the decision was taken after taking into consideration the growing demand for a full-service local office, operating in the local time zone.
Turkey along with the surrounding Eurasia region is one of the priority markets for AJW Group. AJW Turkey aims to deliver the full suite of AJW’s support solutions to companies in Turkey and the wider region with the intention to transform their aviation efficiency.
Umit Caymaz, Managing Director, AJW Turkey commented, “I am honoured to join the world-leading AJW team and grow the AJW business in Turkey and beyond. My experience in the Used Serviceable Material (USM) market and belief that exemplary customer service is paramount to success means I am confident that the full nose-to-tail service we offer will deliver an enhanced level of customer support locally that exceeds our customers’ expectations and builds the AJW brand presence within the region.”
AJW Turkey will primarily support the AJW Group’s regional customers, initially as a local extension of AJW’s customer support. The unit will offer access to the inventory of Airbus and Boeing spare parts (valued at $500M), which will include Engines and Major Assets, contractual support negotiations, Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) services, and nose-to-tail support solutions. AJW Turkey, road mapped to expand with inventory located in Istanbul to support operational demands across the region and beyond, will be led by Umit Caymaz, Managing Director, AJW Turkey.
