AJW Group has entered into a regional partnership agreement with MENA Aerospace, offering aircraft part support, component MRO and logistical support to fixed and rotary wing aircraft operating in the Middle East.

The partnership is described by AJW and MENA as “mutually beneficial”. Spare parts specialist AJW said it would be able to further develop its business in the Middle East region.

Bahrain-owned aviation service provider MENA has an existing infrastructure and business network and will be able to offer regional customers new possibilities in the supply and repair of aircraft spares.

Customers will have access to AJW’s global inventory of more than 450,000-line items valued at US$500 million as well as repair and overhaul services with AJW’s tailored repair programmes and in-house at the company’s AJW Technique operation in Montreal, Canada. Logistical support will also be offered.

“We are excited to be expanding the services we offer our regional customers who will benefit from access to seamless spare parts supply and repair services from a world-leading independent specialist,” said MENA Aerospace’s managing director Mohamed Ahmed Juman.

“Our customers will benefit from AJW’s expertise as well as our well-developed aviation service knowledge, regional presence and infrastructure. We are very eager to support the partnership with our technical support services and aircraft hangar facilities.”

AJW Group’s chairman and CEO Christopher Whiteside commented: “We are delighted to announce our partnership with MENA Aerospace. Increasing our presence in the Middle Eastern region is part of our strategic expansion, made possible by joining forces with MENA Aerospace to offer a full service offering to the regional operators.

“AJW’s award winning services, vast inventory and MRO capabilities alongside MENA’s regional infrastructure, business network and local insight will enable us to offer our world-class services and solutions to the region.”
