Aviall Signs Exclusive Wheel and Brake Repair, Overhaul Services Contract with Flight Options

DALLAS, Feb. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Aviall Services, Inc., a unit of Aviall, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company, announced today that its Product Repair Services division has entered into a long-term agreement with Flight Options, LLC., a leading provider of safe and reliable private jet travel services, to be the exclusive provider of wheel and brake overhaul and repair services, and manage their wheel and brake supply chain requirements.

Aviall will support the Cleveland, Ohio based Flight Options fleet utilizing their network of wheel and brake repair stations. Aviall's repair stations in Chicago, Illinois; Crown Point (SISU Services), Indiana; Parsippany, New Jersey; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Atlanta, Georgia; Dallas, Texas; and Van Nuys, California are strategically located to support corporate fleets when they are in their primary domicile and when they are supporting their customers away from home. Aviall maintains a vast inventory of the OEM wheel and brake components required to support customer property overhauls and necessary repairs, an existing pool of overhauled exchange brakes and will invest in an additional spares package in support of the Flight Options fleet.

"Our common goals for exemplary customer service, the use of technology based maintenance solutions and a high quality maintenance program make this an exciting partnership," said Dan Komnenovich, President and COO of Aviall Services. "We know that Flight Options' commitment to their customers' satisfaction is their primary mission, and I am confident that the solution that Aviall provides incorporates the flexibility needed to successfully support them as their customers' flight requirements grow."

Flight Options marked its 10th Anniversary in 2008 and offers the complete spectrum of programs including fractional ownership, leasing, aircraft management and JetPASS Memberships. Flight Options fleet of over 100 aircraft consists of the Hawker 400XP, Hawker 800XP, Citation X and Embraer Legacy. Arriving in late 2009, Flight Options will take delivery of the new Phenom 300.
