Cathay Pacific Airways signs up for SATAIR Group's Integrated Material Services for A350XWB fleet

Satair Group’s “Integrated Material Services” (IMS) has won their first A350XWB customer, Cathay Pacific Airways, and has started their new service offering for the airline’s fleet of 48 Airbus A350XWB aircraft. Working in conjunction with the recently announced long-term agreement with Airbus to provide Flight Hour Services (FHS), Satair Group will operate the IMS, which was signed through the Airbus Flight Hour Services Limited, to provide an expendable material management solution. Under the IMS banner, Satair Group now provides a fully integrated end-to-end supply chain package for Cathay Pacific’s expendable material. This includes planning, sourcing, purchasing, logistics and inventory management – approximately 15,000 part numbers in total. Satair Group has already started service with the supply of expendable material for Cathay Pacific’s flight simulators, initial stocking of outstations and Cathay’s central stock in Hong Kong to support the delivery of the first aircraft at the end of May.
