Agreement also includes the EverLatch Cargo Door Latch, an STC-derived PMA product targeted at improving airline performance and reducing maintenance costs
27 January 2021: ATS (Aviation Technical Services) recently appointed Wencor as the exclusive global distributor of Part Manufacturer Approval (PMA) portfolio. The agreement also includes distribution of ATS-patented EverLatch Cargo Door Latch, a cost-effective solution designed to enhance reliability of Boeing 737NG aircraft.
Brian Olsen, ATS President of Component and Engineering Solutions said, “Our PMA Program started through collaboration with one of our heavy maintenance customers and has been successful in identifying millions of dollars in savings for Boeing 737 operators. We are looking forward to increasing the program’s exposure to airlines and MROs through Wencor’s established channels.”
Wencor Chief Executive Officer Shawn Trogdon said, “We are excited to continue to build our relationship with ATS and add their PMAs to our industry leading portfolio which now includes greater than 11,000 alternative material solutions. As the aviation industry continues to bounce back, Wencor remains committed more than ever to providing innovative solutions to our customers that enable reliability, availability and cost efficiencies. Partnering with ATS to expand our offering enhances that objective.”
Engineered utilizing data from airframe maintenance and component repair workscopes, ATS PMAs replace high cost, long lead time, and high failure parts.
