The client asked our leasing experts to help facilitate the repair of a grounded aircraft.
Helping an airline with an ACMI lease for maintenance and parts
A European airline called ACS Leasing with an urgent request. One of their aircraft was grounded in France and they needed to get it back in the air as soon as possible to minimise disruption to their schedule. With no time to waste, we set about getting the plane repaired and sorting out overnight hotel stay for the stranded crew.
Our Solution
Service: ACMI lease (maintenance and parts)
Aircraft: Saab 340
Within just 45 minutes, we’d confirmed a tailored solution for the urgent request, securing an aircraft at short notice to fly an engineer over from Lithuania with the necessary spare parts.
With a local festival creating high demand for accommodation in Paris, we turned to our in house experts at The Travel Division, who leveraged their industry contacts to book last-minute hotel rooms and transfers for the 16 crew members.
We stayed in touch with the client throughout, providing out-of-hours support to ensure everything ran smoothly with the time-sensitive charter. The grounded airliner was quickly repaired with minimal downtime, enabling our client’s operations to resume.
