Delta uses redundant former EGYPTAIR Airbus A220 to alleviate parts shortage

Delta Air Lines is utilizing a former EGYPTAIR Airbus A220-300 to help alleviate global parts shortages and ease supply chain issues. Aircraft lessor Azorra is working with the Delta Air Lines subsidiary, Delta Material Services (DMS), to strip down the Airbus A220 and use its parts to support repairs of the US carrier’s fleet. Parts of the former EGYPTAIR Airbus A220-300 will also be used to help other global airlines that operate the aircraft type and are in need of repairs. The engines from the redundant A220-300 are also being leased by Azorra to Delta to support the airline’s existing fleet. According to Fort Lauderdale-based firm, Azorra is the “first lessor to develop such a solution for the A220”. “This strategic partnership with DMS is a clear example of Azorra’s creativity in helping alleviate the challenges seen across commercial aviation today. Airlines globally are working through AOG disruptions and we’re proud to play a role in helping our partners overcome these. We’re big believers in the Airbus A220 and it remains a highly valuable and important asset to Azorra,” said Ron Baur, President at Azorra. <br/>
