Dunlop Aircraft Tyres has landed a three-year contract worth
over £1m with low-cost airline bmibaby.
The agreement will see the Birmingham-based manufacturer, the
world's only specialist aircraft tyre company, exclusively supply
the airline with nose wheel and main wheel tyres for its fleet of
Boeing 737-300s and 737-500s.
bmibaby, a subsidiary of British Midland Limited, operates
services from the UK to holiday and business destinations across
Europe. The company is a long-standing Dunlop Aircraft Tyres
customer and under this new agreement the airline will receive new
and retreaded tyres.
"Naturally we are delighted to win all contracts, but it is
especially rewarding to retain important customers such as
bmibaby," said Dunlop Aircraft Tyres chairman, Ian Edmondson.
"We operate in a competitive marketplace and can only secure
this level of business with major airlines by continually
delivering excellent, reliable products and strong after-sales
support.
"This contract is not only a vote of confidence in Dunlop's
ability to deliver in the future but also acknowledges our success
to date."
