easyJet signs 10-year contract extension with Goodrich Wheels and Brakes

Goodrich Corporation’s (GR) Aircraft Wheels and Brakes has signed a 10 year contract extension with easyJet for the provisioning and MRO support of wheels and carbon brakes for their A319/A320 fleet. easyJet operates the world’s largest fleet of A319/A320 aircraft with over 200 aircraft in service and 15 aircraft on order. Goodrich’s A320 carbon brakes use proprietary DURACARB carbon heat sink material. The DURACARB carbon provides exceptional brake performance and a 35% brake life advantage over competitive equipment. The DURACARB material results in a brake that achieves 2,000 cycles between shop visits, reducing both line maintenance and overhaul costs for operators.
