Voyageur Aviation & Segers Aviation set up depot for spare parts in Dubai

Nov 21, 2019: Voyageur Aviation and Segers Aviation SA, have established a regional aircraft parts depot in Dubai, UAE. The partnership includes a spare parts distribution agreement that will leverage Segers' experienced logistics and sales expertise to sell Voyageur-owned spare parts to operators in the region and beyond.

“We are extremely pleased with the establishment of a regional parts depot in Dubai, which aligns with our vision to deliver regional aviation to the world. Voyageur's Avparts division has been on a steady growth path since its inception and is an important part of our ability to provide a full suite of regional aviation support services,” said Joe Randell, president and chief executive officer, Chorus.

Under the agreement, Voyageur will provide a pool of Dash 8-400, CRJ, and Dash 8 Classic spare parts to Segers for sale or exchange. Segers' UAE office has expertise in marketing its own inventory and MRO services to operators in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
