AirTran Airways, a subsidiary of AirTran Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AAI), announced on January 3, 2008 that it has awarded Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI)'s Bedek Aviation Group a long-term contract for landing gear maintenance covering its entire fleet of Boeing 737NG aircraft.
“AirTran Airways regards IAI’s Bedek Aviation Group as one of our superior suppliers of maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services,” said Stephen Kolski, AirTran Airways’ Senior Vice President for Operations. “In terms of cost, quality and service, we have found IAI’s Bedek Aviation Group ready, willing and able to consistently live up to its commitments. They have proven themselves to be a partner in every sense of the word.”
AirTran Airways has ordered 115 Boeing 737NG aircraft and taken delivery of 50 to date. AirTran Airways also operates 87 Boeing 717 aircraft and has the youngest, all-Boeing fleet in North America.
