MRO: Satair and Etihad Engineering to work on supply chain solution

The agreement, targeted at being signed within the first half of Q2 2025, will provide a comprehensive solution for consumable and expendable parts (C&E) required for Etihad Engineering’s maintenance operations.

Under the agreement, Satair will provide a supply chain service covering several thousand C&E parts from a variety of OEMs to enable consolidation and efficiency. This will be accessible via an Etihad Engineering exclusive and local stock managed by Satair. This partnership is designed to significantly enhance Etihad Engineering’s operational efficiency by increasing parts availability while streamlining procurement and logistics.

This agreement builds upon the existing decades long relationship between Satair and Etihad Engineering, expanding the scope of collaboration significantly. The new agreement represents a substantial increase in the number of parts covered compared to previous arrangements.

Paul Locab, Satair chief commercial officer, said: "This multi year partnership agreement represents a major commitment toward each other. Satair will be an integral part of Etihad Engineering's future success through reliable high performance and we feel both proud and honoured to be given this role."

Daniel Hoffmann, Etihad Engineering CEO, added: “We're pleased to be working with Satair on this agreement towards guaranteed parts availability, lower stock inventory, and significant cost savings with no investment required for the contracted parts. With dedicated representation of Satair, we can offer our customers from around the world immediate access to parts covered in this agreement within our stores, further improving our comprehensive MRO support and overall turnaround times.”
