A supplier of aircraft parts in the region has signed a long-term deal with a new client.

Tennessee-based Contour Airlines now has access to Norton Shores-based AeroVision International’s inventory of components, which will be used to support Contour’s growing fleet of ERJ 135 and 145 aircraft.

Parts will be sent from AeroVision's main facility to Contour’s maintenance facilities in Tennessee, Georgia, Arizona, California and West Virginia.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“AeroVision is customizing service solutions for Contour Airlines to meet their specific operational, financial and maintenance requirements,” said Pete Gibson, VP of sales and marketing, AeroVision International.

Matthew Chaifetz, CEO of Contour Airlines, added: “As we evaluated options to support our rapid growth, it became clear that AeroVision was the ideal business partner, willing to adapt to a model that best fits our business, rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all approach.”
