Aviation Technical Services (ATS) announces a new agreement with Southwest Airlines that will bring additional work to the MRO provider’s new facility at Kansas City International airport.
The agreement calls for ATS on begin providing MRO services to Southwest’s Boeing 737s later this year, and for the work to last three years, says ATS.
The company calls Kansas City a good fit for Southwest, noting that the carrier operates 67 daily flights from the city to 26 destinations.
Southwest is a longtime ATS customer; its aircraft have been maintained at ATS’ Everett, Washington, site for about 40 years, ATS notes.
The agreement is the latest win for ATS’s new 607,000ft2 (56,392m2) Kansas City site, which the company formally opened in July.
At the site, formerly operated by American Airlines, ATS will perform heavy maintenance checks on Hawaiian Airlines’ Boeing 767s and modification work on Air Canada’s incoming Boeing 787s, ATS says.
