The new power-by-the-hour (PBH) support agreement will cover Arajet’s fleet of Boeing 737 MAX fleet with the AJW Group flight hour support program created according to Arajet’s needs.
AJW Group, an independent component parts, repair and supply chain solutions provider, has announced it has signed a new power-by-the-hour (PBH) component support agreement with Airline Arajet S.A., the new Flagship airline of the Dominican Republic. Arajet S.A. is an ultra-low-cost startup airline based in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic which commenced operations on the 15th of September, 2022.
The new power-by-the-hour (PBH) support agreement signed between the two companies will cover Arajet’s expanding fleet of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft with the AJW Group flight hour support programme, created according to the operator’s needs. The contract will guarantee the supply, repair, and overhaul of rotatable components for the Arajat S.A. fleet of Boeing 737 MAX. The required components will be supplied from AJW’s global inventory of Boeing 737 MAX spares and Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) services from the Group’s flagship maintenance facility, AJW Technique, in Montreal, Canada.
Garret Malone, Chief Operating Officer, Arajet S.A. said, “At Arajet we are committed to providing our customers with a safe, reliable, and efficient travel experience. Our partnership with AJW gives us assurance and cost alignment underpinning safety, flight efficiency and on-time-performance allowing us to focus on achieving our rapid growth plans safe in the knowledge that their experienced team will keep our fleet running effectively and efficiently.”
The signing of the contract according to AJW Group will reinforce the company’s position as the market leader for end-to-end supply chain solutions, and the supplier of choice for airlines across the Caribbean. The Arajet S.A. fleet according to the AJW Group is one of the world’s most fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly, achieving a 14% reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, and is 40% quieter compared to prior generations of Boeing 737.
Arajet S.A. is the Caribbean’s first ultra-low-cost airline based in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The airline began operations in September 2022 with its fleet of LEAP-powered B737 MAX aircraft and has a roadmap to increase its fleet to 26 aircraft following the delivery of an order placed with Boeing in early 2022.
Christopher Whiteside, Chairman, AJW Group said, “We are delighted to announce this power-by-the-hour contract with Arajet S.A. who place the utmost importance on regularity of services and on-time performance, values we share. This contract echoes the recent expansion of our services in Latin America and follows hotly on the heels of a 10-year PBH support contract with Chilean ultra-low-cost carrier JetSMART Airlines SpA in June.”
