Mitsubishi Aircraft names PEMCO preferred MRO service provider for MRJ

Pemco World Air Services has been named a preferred MRO service provider of the MRJ aircraft by Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation. As an alternative solution for airlines performing airframe MRO in-house or through an outsourced third party, Mitsubishi Aircraft and PEMCO will offer airframe related MRO services to North American MRJ customers, such as applicable letter and heavy checks, structural repairs, modifications, and warranty work. It is the intent of both companies to provide best-in-class services, improved efficiencies, and cost advantages to MRJ aircraft operators. The MRJ has received over 400 aircraft orders, including options and purchase rights. Mitsubishi Aircraft plans to deliver the first MRJ aircraft in mid-2018 to launch customer All Nippon Airways.
