Fokker Services Group (FSG) and AlbaStar have entered into a component support program for Albastar’s fleet of 5 Boeing 737NG aircraft.
With the program, Albastar officially becomes the launch customer of FSG’s Boeing 737NG nose-to-tail (NTT) component maintenance and availability program.
FSG will service a wide range of components of Albastar’s fleet of Boeing 737NG. This includes IDGs, engine accessories, hydraulic actuators, valves, cockpit controls, and instruments.
FSG's track record in NTT programs dates back to 1992, when the company developed the first component maintenance and availability program to support Fokker operators. Over time, the program expanded to include the Dash-8 and CRJ series. At the same FSG has expanded its in-house repair capabilities with the ultimate goal to reach up to 70% for the Boeing B737NG platform.
“With the introduction of this new program, we are fully committed to continue to drive excellence in the B737NG aftermarket, leveraging our design, production and maintenance expertise. We take pride in having been selected by Albastar as their partner of choice for this platform”, said Menzo van der Beek, CEO of FSG.
“Having access to extensive pool stocks and nearby repair capabilities, FSG has proven to be the reliable, versatile partner we sought to ensure an efficient aircraft operation," said Jaime Bestard, COO and Executive Technical Director of Albastar. "We’re thrilled to have shaped a bespoke agreement that fits our needs as a medium-size company, and we eagerly anticipate seeing how FSG’s support contributes to our expansion plans, including doubling the size of our Boeing 737NG fleet in the following years”.
