Willis Lease Finance Corporation (WLFC) subsidiary for MRO services Willis Aviation Services (WASL) has secured a commitment from Jet2 for two base maintenance lines for the upcoming season.
The company had completed a single maintenance line for the airline this year. Following this, Jet2 expanded its commitment by adding a second maintenance line. Both will be carried out at the subsidiary's new facility at Teesside International Airport in the northeast of England.
“Our investment in Teesside enables WASL to deliver essential services for airlines including Jet2 and reflects our commitment to driving local economic growth and creating skilled jobs in the UK aerospace industry,” said Willis Lease CEO Austin Willis.
Jet2 director of engineering and maintenance Chris Hubbard commented: “We look forward to continuing our partnership with WASL in the 2025 and 2026 season.”
