"This marks a significant milestone in our common journey, based on mutual trust as well as shared values for safety, performance, reliability and reducing the impact of air transport on the environment.”
“We truly value our long-term partnership with Safran Landing Systems, which is key to our
commitment to run a strong operation and deliver a positive and reliable experience for our
Guests,” said Boris Rogoff, Senior Vice President of Tech Ops and Supply Chain at Spirit
Airlines. “Their cutting-edge technology and expertise in wheels and brakes are pivotal
contributors to our operational performance and safety standards, and we look forward to
continuing our partnership.”
