Switzerland’s largest private Helicopter MRO Karen has announced the signing of another consignment agreement with Horix Aerospace under the Horix Trust Consignment Program.
The work scope covers all material recovered from the dismantling of two AW109s— an aged A109AII and an AW109S Grand— reaffirming Karen’s position as the European center of excellence for the dismantling of AW109s.
“This will be our third project managed in partnership with Horix,” said Karen’s director of operations Luca Carlino, “and allows us to remain focused on helicopter operations and maintenance. With operating bases in Switzerland and a number African locations, we need a strong partner to manage the spare parts inventory chain and this agreement is further confirmation of our satisfaction with the process efficiency.”
Marco Taufer, Horix Aerospace’s chief commercial officer, announced: “We are pleased to be a partner of Karen’s growth and we are delighted to expand our helicopter used serviceable materials inventory through our Trust Consignment Program. This is a strong consignment agreements year for Horix, where the number of signed trust consignment agreements continue to grow, indicating that our Horix Trust Consignment Program is a win-win situation for both us and the client.”
Horix is considering future helicopters, both the AW109 and AW139 types, for use as used serviceable materials supply sources, and continues to acquire parts through multiple avenues including consignments and direct stock purchases.
This press release was jointly prepared and distributed by Karen Helicopters and Horix Aerospace.
