Korean budget airline Eastar Jet has contracted AJ Walter Aviation for component support.

The carrier signed a seven-year, flight hour-based maintenance and logistics agreement with the UK-based parts specialist for rotable equipment on its Boeing 737 fleet.

AJ Walter will locate some stock at the airline's operating base at Seoul's Gimpo International Airport and provide support from its regional facility in Singapore.

Eastar operates one 737-600 and five 737-700s, according to Flightglobal's ACAS database.
