Primera Air inks power-by-the-hour contract with AJW Aviation

Danish leisure airline Primera Air has chosen AJW Aviation to provide full power-by-the-hour (PBH) services for eight 737NG aircraft.

AJW will also place exclusive and non-exclusive spares stock at Primera’s headquarters in Copenhagen. The exclusive stock is being provided by AJW Leasing.

A key factor in this new PBH support agreement is that Primera will have access to AJW’s extensive stock of Boeing 737NG spares already located across its hub network, which will beneﬁt Primera’s numerous bases across Scandinavia, the Canary Islands and throughout the Mediterranean, AJW Aviation said.

AJW’s strategy is to ring the globe with strategic hubs of commercial Airbus and Boeing spares in support of power-by-the-hour contracts, and to sustain the company’s award-winning 24/7/365 AOG service.

Alexis Dufermont, Vice-President Sales Europe at AJW Aviation, sees this new contract with Primera as further evidence of AJW’s penetration of the European aviation market.

“This highlights the company’s focus on developing relationships with European carriers of all sizes,” he said. “We are proud to support another vibrant and fast-growing airline that recognizes the outstanding value for money and excellent customer service that is embodied within a ﬂexible power- by-the-hour agreement.”

He continued: “Primera’s primary goal is to provide air travel services to the leisure market. As a dynamic company it has grown at a steady pace in recent years, and now oﬀers ﬂights from Scandinavia to over 70 destinations in the Mediterranean, Asia, the Caribbean, and the Atlantic. Operators like Primera that have seasonal peaks in their operation need the reassurance that AJW’s dispatch reliability can provide.” 1
