Aviation maintenance and engineering company PEMCO World Air
Services (PEMCO), a wholly owned subsidiary of Air Transport
Services Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:ATSG), has secured a three-year
maintenance agreement with U.S.-based low-cost carrier Frontier
Airlines covering Frontier’s expanding fleet, consisting today of
more than 60 Airbus A320-family passenger aircraft.
“PEMCO has proven to be a first class Airbus maintenance
provider and is more than capable of supporting our needs for the
foreseeable future,” said Jim Mach, Frontier Airlines’ Director of
Maintenance.
PEMCO General Manager Pastor Lopez said, “As Frontier continues
to expand, we look forward to the opportunity to grow with them.
Utilizing our Lean processes, we’ll continue to provide Frontier
with award-winning quality and on-time service.”
Maintenance services will be performed primarily at PEMCO’s
maintenance facilities at the Tampa International Airport. The
agreement builds on a relationship with Frontier that started in
2015 with PEMCO’s interior modifications to Frontier’s A319s and
A320s, which earned PEMCO the prestigious Tech Ops Business Partner
Excellence Award from Frontier.
In 2016, Frontier awarded PEMCO a contract for heavy
maintenance, drop-in, on-call and away maintenance support for
Frontier’s fleet, which now comprises more than 60 Airbus A319,
A320, and A321 aircraft, and is expanding via Frontier’s orders for
more than 60 additional A320-family aircraft. The new three-year
agreement covers heavy checks, induction checks, exit checks,
drop-in maintenance, on-call maintenance, and away maintenance, and
includes options for extension in two one-year intervals.
Chris Johnson, Manager of MRO Sales for PEMCO, said, “This new
contract further deepens our partnership with Frontier. It’s a
testament to our team and their hard work over the past two
years.”
Headquartered in Denver, Frontier Airlines serves more than 55
cities in the United States, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and
Cuba on more than 275 daily flights. The carrier recently announced
the addition of Puerto Rico to its route map and will launch
service to San Juan on June 11, offering nonstop flights from both
Philadelphia and Orlando.
