Under the terms of the agreement, Satair Group – a Copenhagen/Hamburgbased leading provider of integrated material services in the commercial aerospace aftermarket – will provide aftermarket sales, marketing, distribution and AOG support.

Steen Karsbo, VP of gusiness development at Satair Group commented: “I am very excited to enter into this new partnership with FTI – a company that delivers state-of-the-art solutions for meeting the challenges of aircraft security in the air as well as on the ground.

“Immediate detection of everyday incidents may prevent major damage, economic loss and damage of reputation. FTI leverages a long legacy of technical expertise and their modular system architecture provides a unique range of solutions for customers across all types of aircraft.”

With this agreement, FTI expands its global footprint by starting business in entirely new markets.
