OEMServices and GTLK Europe have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to develop aircraft support for the Sukhoi Superjet 100. The two companies will develop aftermarket solutions related to the aircraft’s platform. OEMServices is based in Charles de Gaulle (CDG) Airport and provides integrated OEM component solutions for airlines. Meanwhile, Ireland-based GTLK performs services such as leasing and trading air and sea vehicles as well as consulting on commercial aircraft and ship transactions.

“This agreement is a strategic step in our development plan,” said OEMServices president and CEO Didier Granger. “The SSJ100 is a key aircraft for us and we expect this relationship to provide a world class service for airlines in all worldwide regions. This partnership shows the important complement between our companies.”

Through this agreement, OEMServices will combine its service knowledge of components and logistics as well as its experience with airline customer relationship management and technical configuration with GTLK’s relationship with leasing customers.

“GLTK, as a major lessor of the SSJ100, devotes great attention to after-sales service issues,” said Roman Lyadov, director of GTLK Europe. “Stipulating an agreement with OEMServices is yet another step in developing this area of business. We are pleased that our partner is a world-class player with a sterling reputation.”
