L3Harris Technologies has announced a contract expansion with OEMServices to provide pilot training equipment more rapidly with lower logistical costs to airlines and pilot training centres.
The contract with OEMServices, a leading global logistics solution expert, provides year-round customer access to crucial inventory for L3Harris' full-flight and flat-panel simulators and pilot-training equipment. Expanding current agreements for the commercial surveillance, avionics and flight recorder products, the partnership leverages OEMServices' global presence in the industry, providing customers with quicker response, regional inventory and reduced procurement costs.
“This agreement aligns all aircraft on ground support functions across L3Harris under a single, trusted global logistics and support partner,” said Adrian Paull, Vice President of Customer Support, L3Harris Commercial Aviation. “It aligns perfectly with our strategy to actively empower customers to leverage the full value of our technologies with the lowest practical cost of ownership.”
The partnership between L3Harris and OEMServices has grown over the last ten years, including this expansion for L3Harris' commercial pilot training equipment. Under the new agreement, OEMServices will maintain spare parts for simulators and training devices in its Shanghai and Atlanta facilities by the middle of 2023 and in its Dubai, Paris and Singapore facilities by the end of 2023, enabling customers to resume pilot training quickly and cost effectively with minimal disruptions.
