15 March, 2018 – AJW Group has secured a power-by-the-hour (PBH) contract with new Argentinian low-cost carrier, Flybondi.

The long-term contract, which covers their rapidly expanding fleet of B737-800 aircraft, will see AJW use its industry-leading expertise to manage the complete supply, repair and overhaul of Flybondi’s rotable components.
