SR Technics, a world leading MRO service provider, has signed a long-term integrated component services agreement with Ukraine`s leading carrier, Ukraine International Airlines (UIA).

UIA is a privately owned carrier founded in 1992. The airline connects Ukraine with 80+ capitals and key cities of Europe, Asia, America, the Middle East, and CIS countries providing connections with its international partners’ flights to over 3,000 other destinations worldwide.

UIA operates over 1,000 scheduled flights per week. The base airport for UIA is Kiev Boryspil (KBP).

The new contract covers the carrier’s growing fleet of B737NG, providing component services, pool access, and a main base kit to ensure optimal support of the airline’s operations, said a statement from the company.

When selecting a new supplier for these critical services, UIA prioritised SR Technics’ expertise and high-quality services. The two teams established strong professional relationships right from the start of the bidding process, it said.

Yuri Miroshnikov, UIA president, said: “Ukraine International aspires to partner the most reputable and reliable suppliers in order to guarantee passengers the best flying experience and 100 per cent safety on board of our aircraft.”

“We received a highly competitive commercial bid and selected the SR Technics for their flexibility, a comprehensive set of technical solutions, and ability to tailor their support services to our emerging requirements,” he said.

Jeremy Remacha, CEO, SR Technics, said: “This new agreement reflects the high professionalism of our team. During the bidding evaluation, UIA had the chance to see the flexibility and customer commitment that characterises our work.”

“We are committed to strengthening this relationship going forward and look forward to adding value to the UIA’s services,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
