Air Transport Services Group (ATSG) subsidiary PEMCO World Air Services (PEMCO) has secured a deal to provide maintenance services to US-based low-cost carrier Frontier Airlines.

The new three-year agreement includes Frontier’s current fleet of more than 60 Airbus A320-family aircraft.

Several services such as heavy, induction and exit checks, as well as drop-in and on-call maintenance will be carried out under the deal, which also includes options for extension in two one-year intervals.

PEMCO’s facilities at Tampa International Airport in Florida, US, will mainly perform the maintenance services.

Frontier Airlines maintenance director Jim Mach said: “PEMCO has proven to be a first-class Airbus maintenance provider and is more than capable of supporting our needs for the foreseeable future.”

"This new contract further deepens our partnership with Frontier."

With more than 275 daily flights, the airline currently serves over 55 cities in the US, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Cuba.

PEMCO World Air Services MRO sales manager Chris Johnson said: “This new contract further deepens our partnership with Frontier.

“It’s a testament to our team and their hard work over the past two years.”

Last year, the company won a deal from Frontier to provide heavy maintenance, drop-in, on-call and away maintenance support.

In February, PEMCO was selected by China-based YTO Cargo Airlines to convert three B737-300 passenger aircraft into freighters.
