TURKISH TECHNIC AND SATAIR SIGN PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT TO SUPPORT AIRBUS FLEET MAINTENANCE
Turkish Technic and Satair have signed a strategic General Terms Agreement (GTA) to facilitate further business growth between the two entities. Under this agreement, Satair will support Turkish Technic with consumable and expendable spares (C&E) for the expanding Airbus aircraft fleet that is maintained by Turkish Technic.
This unique agreement supports both Airbus standard hardware supplied from the Airbus warehouses in Hamburg and C&E material from Satair’s global warehouses. This marks an important entry of Standard Hardware to the already established transactions of C&E material between the entities.
With this tailor-made GTA, aircraft part numbers can be added and removed from the GTA in a dynamic manner to reflect real-time planning and forecast input. The flexibility of the GTA provides a customised and unique platform to add products and Stock Keeping Units to the GTA while still allowing the general Terms & Conditions to remain in force. This helps both parties to maintain a very high degree of flexibility while securing a good service level from Satair towards Turkish Technic.
The GTA agreement covers a wide range of distribution channels, which provides a reliable single point of contact for all customers and the nearly 290 suppliers managed by Satair. As a result of this agreement, Turkish Technic will benefit more stock availability, reduced lead-times and performance dedication from Satair, enabling planning improvements, reduced vendor complexity and transactional cost savings.
Irfan Demir, the CCO of Turkish Technic, stated: “The cooperation between Turkish Technic and Satair is a milestone in meeting the demands of the market. Without a doubt, this agreement is a great addition to our portfolio to support our customers with maximum efficiency.”
Responding, Terry Stone, Satair's Managing Director and Head of Sales and Support, Europe, Middle East & Africa, said: “This GTA symbolises the trust and respect developed through a close partnership and paves the way for even more advanced solutions in the future.”
