AMES Servicing Boeing 767 Aircraft for North American Airlines

Airborne Maintenance and Engineering Services, Inc. (AMES), announced that it has entered into a heavy maintenance agreement with North American Airlines, Inc. (NAA) for light and heavy maintenance services.

AMES completed the first in a series of planned A checks on NAA's Boeing 767-300ER passenger jets in January and has recently completed the first C check for NAA as well. A second C check is scheduled for September 2013. NAA operates a fleet of five Boeing 767-300ER aircraft.

“North American Airlines has been impressed with AMES ability to provide strong technical support and capability on the B767-300,” commented NAA Senior Director of Maintenance and Engineering Richard Sosa. “AMES has displayed a flexibility allowing for the successful accomplishment of additional maintenance requirements outside of the scheduled workscope without impacting or compromising the operational schedule. This is key to our operation and selection of a maintenance provider.”

“We are pleased that North American Airlines recognizes the quality and value of our heavy maintenance services,” said AMES President Brady Templeton. In addition to providing heavy maintenance on Boeing 767 aircraft, AMES's expertise extends to the Boeing 737 and 757, as well as the McDonnell Douglas MD-80 and DC-9 models.
