Component repair cycle management and aircraft warranty solutions provider Airinmar has signed a multi-year support services extension with Philippine Airlines (PAL).

Working with PAL’s aircraft material management team, Airinmar – a subsidiary of AAR – will provide a full suite of support services covering both aircraft warranty and value engineering.

The services will supplement PAL’s current activities and continue building on the successful recovery of the airline’s aircraft warranty entitlements and reducing the cost of component repair.

Alvin Kendrich Limqueco, PAL senior vice president – supply chain management group, said: “Since we implemented Airinmar’s services at the start of 2020, Airinmar has been a trusted partner.

“We appreciate their commitment to value engineering and solid warranty management, which has contributed to meeting PAL’s safety and efficiency goals.

“We will continue to leverage Airinmar’s comprehensive engineering knowledge and expertise to help drive down PAL’s operational maintenance costs and thereby contribute to our overall sustained improvement goals.”

Airinmar’s value engineering support will continue to deliver cost savings through supplier compliance with PAL’s contracted component repairs and minimise component flight-hour out-of-scope repair charges.

Airinmar’s aircraft warranty management services cover the identification, claim, and recovery of the multiple aircraft warranty entitlements provided by Airbus, Boeing, and de Havilland and their suppliers.

Matt Davies, general manager of Airinmar, said: “We are delighted to extend our successful relationship with PAL and continue working alongside their aircraft material management team to reduce maintenance costs across PAL’s multiple fleet types.

“We are excited to be part of PAL’s growth strategy as their fleet expands with new aircraft deliveries in the coming years.”
