Istanbul-based MRO provider Turkish Technic has signed a component pool agreement with Silk Way West Airlines for its Boeing 777F fleet.

The airline is one of the youngest 777F fleet operators and has ongoing orders for the aircraft type.

The agreement means that Silk Way West Airlines will have access to spare parts pooling and MRO services for the required components.

The airline will also benefit from Turkish Technic’s global supply chain network, including AOG (Aircraft on Ground) support for time-critical components.

Mikail Akbulut, chief executive of Turkish Technic, said: ‘‘We are delighted to have taken the first step towards a long-term cooperation with Silk Way West Airlines.

“With decades of experience in component maintenance and large inventory of components, we are proud to be a leading solution centre for Boeing 777 component pooling.

“We are excited to work closely with the operator to ensure the highest level of safety and reliability for their Boeing 777F fleet.”

Wolfgang Meier, president of Silk Way West Airlines said: “We are delighted to join forces with Turkish Technic to enhance our operational capabilities and uphold our commitment to excellence in air cargo transportation.

“This collaboration reflects our dedication to providing reliable and efficient services to our customers worldwide.”
