Avianca, a prominent Colombian airline, has chosen Collins Aerospace to supply wheels and brakes for its new fleet of 103 A320neo aircraft over the next 15 years.
Collins Aerospace currently equips Avianca's fleet of A320ceo and A320neo aircraft with wheels and brakes. The brakes feature DURACARB® carbon friction material, offering a longer brake life compared to competitors. This results in reduced maintenance requirements, fewer service interruptions, increased savings and improved operational efficiency.
“Extending our services and support to Avianca's newly expanded fleet is a true testament to our established support network and team of dedicated employees that stand behind our product through its full lifecycle,” said Matt Maurer, Vice President and General Manager of Landing Systems for Collins Aerospace.
Francisco Raddatz, Senior Vice President for Fleet and Procurement at Avianca, commented, “This agreement reflects Collins' strong track record and partnership to support our fleet's plan. We value the established support network available to us throughout the product lifecycle.”
Avianca operates in 130 destinations, with its A320ceo and A320neo aircraft serving customers across North America, Central America and South America.
