Moreover, we benefit from their expertise not only in spare parts logistics but also from their competence to fulfill all logistic operations in the component repair cycle, being able to provide material management from the manufacturer to our valued customers around the world," says Alessandro Franzoni, SuperJet International's chief executive.
Under the contract, SuperJet International's customers will also have access to a dedicated desk in aircraft-on-ground situations that will be available around the clock, says LTL.
