Acknowledging the long-term partnership between the companies and the 200th JetBlue aircraft serviced at PEMCO’s Tampa jet maintenance base, JetBlue’s Jeff Martin – SVP Operations, and Marco Nogueira – Director Maintenance, PEMCO’s Bill Meehan – CEO, and Kevin Casey – President highlighted the significance of the companies’ long running technical collaboration.
“In this day in age, it is very rare to achieve such a feat and we are proud to have a steadfast customer in JetBlue,” stated PEMCO CEO, Bill Meehan. “This is the fourth year of our partnership and to reach 200 redeliveries is a real accomplishment. Recognizing 500 aircraft redeliveries at our Tampa facility underlines our decision to move to a state-of-the-art modern facility where we can continue to grow and develop this company for the future.
