“Boeing is committed to providing our customers with the support and services necessary to improve airplane performance and streamline operations in the fastest growing aviation markets,” said Ted Colbert, president and CEO, Boeing Global Services. “We are proud of the recent agreements with our partners in the Asia-Pacific region, meeting the demand we are seeing for more integrated solutions.”
These agreements focus on material solutions that offer customers more inventory control and greater logistics flexibility, by relying on Boeing for material support. Boeing works with customers to identify their operational priorities and build the Tailored Part Package and Consumable and Expendable Services that allow airlines to focus on operations and not parts and inventory management.
