AJW wins major power by the hour deal from RAK Airways to add to growing Mid East presence

The airline has awarded AJW a three year contract to provide full power-by-the-hour and MBK lease support for its A320 fleet.

AJW already has comprehensive Boeing 737 stock sited in its regional facility in the Dubai Free Zone which supports daily spares requirements for local airlines.  This new contract will be managed out of its Middle-East office and will include the additional location in Dubai of extensive A320 inventory, which will mark a significant increase in AJW’s investment in the UAE. 

RAK Airways will also benefit from AJW’s 24/7 AOG service across its route network including Cairo, Jeddah, Doha, Calicut, Dhaka and Chittagong – all countries in which AJW has considerable operational experience.

“Ras Al Khaimah presents compelling business opportunities for A J Walter Aviation. The Ras Al Khaimah Free Trade Zone is already one of the fastest growing free trade zones in the UAE and home to over 4,000 companies,” said Oliver Smith, AJW’s regional director.

  “AJW’s cost effective services together with extensive operational experience perfectly positions us to expand in Ras Al Khaimah and the wider UAE. We look forward to forging successful, long term relationships with airlines like RAK Airways,”

This power-by-the-hour agreement brings the aircraft that AJW has under contract to more than 375 and the company says it is evidence of its continuing determination to succeed in the Middle East.
