COMMERCE, Calif., October 23, 2024 – FDH Aero (“FDH”), a global provider of supply chain solutions for the aerospace and defense industry, announced today a new surplus management agreement (Surplus2Revenue) between FDH Aero brand PDQ Airspares and Czech Airlines Technics, an aircraft MRO provider based at the Václav Havel Airport in Prague.

A commemoration signing ceremony took place today during Aviation Week’s annual MRO Europe conference in Barcelona. Representatives from both PDQ Airspares, an FDH company, and Czech Airlines Technics participated in the ceremony.

“PDQ is delighted to extend our strong business relationship with the professionals at Czech Airlines Technics,” said Paul Rice, Managing Director of PDQ Airspares. “We will provide global support for this agreement as we will list and actively push Czech Airlines Technics’ surplus consumables and expendables across our global network.”

Under the new Surplus2Revenue partnership, PDQ agrees to sell Czech Airlines Technics’ surplus stock to PDQ’s portfolio of customers. All parts are listed online and PDQ representatives are available to support with material enquiries.

As a former technical division of the Czech national carrier, Czech Airlines Technics MRO has almost 100 years of tradition and experience with aircraft maintenance, in particular with the maintenance of jet aircraft of various manufacturers. The entire portfolio of services includes base maintenance, landing gear maintenance, components repairs and material sale, line maintenance and its newest service, an aircraft paint shop. The company employs more than 600 qualified technicians, engineers and administrative personnel.

“Czech Airlines Technics highly values our longstanding cooperation with PDQ Airspares. This history of successful collaboration is why we were eager to explore this unique partnership once again. PDQ’s global services and extensive business network are instrumental in helping us distribute our surplus consumables and expendables to clients who need them. While we also sell this material through our e-commerce portal, this partnership provides an additional avenue to clear unused OEM parts from our stock and strengthen our relationship with a valued partner. It is great to see the names of Czech Airlines Technics and PDQ Airspares connected once more,” said Martin Mintel, Head of Components and Spares Division.

PDQ to supply consumables and expendables to one of the UK’s only independent aircraft maintenance providers

COMMERCE, Calif., October 23, 2024 – FDH Aero (“FDH”), a global provider of supply chain solutions for the aerospace and defense industry, announced today a new consignment agreement between FDH Aero brand PDQ Airspares and Caerdav.

Caerdav is a fully approved and certified MRO based in St. Athan, U.K. Caerdav specializes in MRO work for Airbus 320s and Boeing 737s with three maintenance bays to support customers.

A commemoration signing ceremony took place today during Aviation Week’s annual MRO Europe conference in Barcelona. Representatives from both PDQ Airspares, an FDH company, and Caerdav participated in the ceremony.

“We are thrilled to sign this agreement with Caerdav and believe the keys to our success will be staying aligned, understanding their needs, and working hard to maintain our great customer experience,” said PDQ Airspares Managing Director Paul Rice. “Caerdav has now selected PDQ as their chosen supplier to eliminate any unexpected supply chain disruptions by ensuring they’ve always got sufficient inventory to maintain operations.”

Under the consignment agreement, PDQ places an agreed amount of inventory in Caerdav’s warehouse and allows them to consume directly from their own stock. Caerdav only purchases the inventory that is used on a pay-as-you-go basis. Consignment benefits include reduced freight costs, reduced costs associated with paying multiple suppliers, and the peace of mind of having stock on hand at all times.

“As one of our longest standing suppliers, it was important to us that PDQ continue to play a significant role in Caerdav’s growth,” said Chris Coleman, Managing Director at Caerdav. “The new consignment stock agreement will help reduce the risk of unforeseen supply chain issues, providing us with a level of flexibility that ensures we continue to meet – and even improve upon – aircraft turnaround times for our customers. We have built a fantastic relationship with the team at PDQ over the years, so we are delighted to see that continue.”
