BA CityFlyer selects AerFin’s Beyond Pool to support Embraer E-Jet fleet

AerFin has signed a seven year agreement to support BA CityFlyer’s fleet of 20 Embraer E-Jets via its “Beyond Pool” support programme. “Beyond Pool” offers a fixed cost solution for all of BA CityFlyer’s E-Jet component requirements and will be fully supported out of AerFin’s London Gatwick facility. BA CityFlyer is a wholly owned subsidiary of British Airways and part of the International Airlines Group (IAG). IAG opened a competitive tender and conducted a very detailed overview of AerFin in its search for both a quality support solution and a competitive price point. This solution provides supply certainty to BA CityFlyer, reducing the operating cost of its E-Jet fleet, while maintaining high quality engineering. BA CityFlyer operates from eight UK airports to over 30 European destinations per year, so proximity of support and reliability of a 24/7 AOG service were key factors in choosing the right supplier.
