Satair, an Airbus Services company, and Vietjet have signed a multi-year agreement for Satair’s Integrated Material Services (IMS), a comprehensive material solution that will support the Vietnamese low-cost airline’s entire Airbus A320 and A330 fleet.
Vietjet is the largest Airbus aircraft operator in Vietnam and under the exclusive agreement, Satair will provide consignment stock and pooling support for expendables specific to Vietjet’s A320 and A330 fleet.
The tailored service will allow Vietjet to ensure material availability with a defined performance level, providing cost savings to boost cash flow and reduce capital expenditure.
Nguyen Duc Thinh, vice president of Vietjet, said: “This agreement will continue to secure our efficient and robust material operations while optimising overall maintenance costs, supporting our fleet and global flight network expansion. The agreement also allows us to further enhance our flight services and provide more affordable air travel for our passengers.”
Paul Lochab, chief commercial officer of Satair, said: “Our IMS collaboration goes beyond simply managing inventory – it’s about empowering airlines like Vietjet to focus on what they do best, with the confidence that they’ve got the right support behind them. By optimising costs and freeing up resources, IMS allows maintenance and engineering teams to concentrate on critical aspects of their operations.”
Satair’s IMS product offering is an end-to-end supply chain solution that includes planning, sourcing, purchasing, logistics, and inventory management; covering all expendables and consumables required in the typical aircraft maintenance lifecycle.
The solution is developed in close collaboration with the airline as both a partner and a customer, full-service airlines and low-cost carriers alike.
