All Nippon Airways (ANA), Japan’s largest airline has extended its existing multi-year Integrated Material Services (IMS) contract with Satair for its fleet of A320/321 CEO and NEO variants to include cover for its incoming fleet of three double-deck A380s, with the first entering service from May 2019.
The service from Satair commenced in December 2017 and includes planning, sourcing, purchasing, logistics and inventory management covering an extensive amount of part numbers for the A320/321 fleet. The coverage includes all expendables materials needs of ANA’s Airbus A380. A collaborative on-site team consisting of both Airbus/Satair and ANA staff working in one office have created a truly integrated and seamless operation to deliver the service. The additional A380 IMS service is a full-scope expendable materials solution covering all Line and ‘A’ checks and pre-loading for ‘C’ Checks.
