Aircelle expands its worldwide services presence with a new parts distribution center in China

The global services network of Aircelle (Safran) marked a strategic expansion with the opening of a new parts distribution center in China, which will serve the country’s airlines that operate aircraft with the company’s jet engine nacelle and thrust reverser products.

Located at Beijing Capital International Airport in its free trade zone, this 400-square-meter warehouse facility is open around the clock to provide spare parts and inventory management – with rapid response capability for urgent aircraft-on-ground services requirements.

“Proximity to the customer is a vital element in Aircelle’s services strategy, and our new Beijing distribution center provides a key regional resource for China’s dynamic airline industry,” said Aircelle Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Vincent Mascré. “Aircelle will offer a full range of after-sales parts and inventory management, beginning with the servicing of nacelles for Airbus’ A330 – which is widely used by Chinese airlines.

Aircelle has partnered with SDV, an international leader in logistics and supply chain management, for operation of the Chinese warehouse. With the latest facility at Beijing, this network now covers eight regions around the world, joining locations in Paris, London, New York, Los Angeles, Dubai, Singapore and Sydney. The company’s offer includes day-to-day technical and logistic support, customer-base located parts, asset management, on-wing support, product enhancement programs, C-Check assistance and nacelle fleet management.
