Turboprop aircraft manufacturer ATR has renewed the logistics contract with DHL Supply Chain for another three years.

NEW DELHI: ATR is a joint venture between Airbus Group and Leonardo and specialises in regional aircraft of up to 90 seats.

The deal covers inventory management, international distribution of spare parts, as well as operations related to maintenance that require a very high level of responsiveness. DHL Supply Chain also manages custom operations for spare parts and equipment, in collaboration with DHL Global Forwarding. DHL Supply Chain will also carry out kitting operations for ATR.
