We were tasked with facilitating the repair of a grounded aircraft for one of our airline partners.
Our Mission
A European airline partner reached out to our leasing experts when one of their aircraft became grounded in France, tasking us with getting the aircraft repaired as soon as possible and arranging overnight accommodation for the stranded crew. We got straight to work on the urgent request.
Type of Lease: ACMI (maintenance and parts)
Aircraft: Saab 340
Our Solution
We put together a bespoke solution within just 45 minutes, sourcing a twin-engine turboprop with last-minute availability to fly in an engineer and spare parts from Lithuania.
Most hotels in Paris were fully booked due to a local festival, however our experts at our in-house Travel Division were able to secure rooms and transfers at short notice for the 16 crew members.
We worked around the clock to provide out-of-hours support, maintaining constant communication and ensuring the flight arrived as fast as possible. The grounded aircraft was repaired in good time, allowing our client to resume operations with minimal downtime.
The Finer Details
Industry Expertise: We tapped into our global network to pull off this time-sensitive ACMI solution.
