London January 31st, 2013:  A J Walter Aviation, the leading independent complete aircraft spares support specialist, is proud to have been announced the winner of ‘The Aviation 100 Parts Supplier of the Year’ Award 2013. 
 
The Airline Economics ‘Aviation 100’ awards recognises the year’s most outstanding performers in the aerospace industry based on votes and top ten rankings across strict criteria. The vote for ‘The Aviation 100 Parts Supplier of the Year’ is always greatly contested and this year AJW secured the majority of the vote, surpassing  all  other  spares  support specialists.  All votes and nominations are filtered to ensure fairness and are then checked, verified and judged by the awards committee.
 
The criteria for this award included parts stocked, current and new clients over the past 12 months, locations, number of employees, ability to source, supply and timescales. This criteria is a refreshing reminder of AJW’s outstanding achievements in 2012 alone, with the celebration of their 80th year in aviation,  the  opening  of  their  new  Multi-million  dollar,  purpose  built,  state-of-the  art  global headquarters and logistics Centre, and the purchase of their component repair and overhaul facility in Montreal – AJW Technique.

Accepting the award Ian Malin, AJW Treasurer, Director and Chief Investment officer commented “This is a great start to 2013 for AJW. We are very proud to accept this award, particularly as it is voted  for  by  our  peers  from  across  the  aviation  industry,  including  our  customers,  partners  and suppliers, which makes it especially important to us.”
 
Malin  continues,  “Lead by  a  strong,  ambitious  and  growing  management  team  around the globe, AJW continues on course to deliver double-digit growth annually across an impressive portfolio of component,  engine  and  consumables  services.   We  certainly  look  forward  to  defending  our  hard fought title as we continue to expand our business over the next twelve months.”
 
AJW is based out of London, Dubai, Singapore and Miami with further Airbus and Boeing inventory hubs  across  the  globe.  Already  highly  regarded  for  its  award-winning  24/7  AOG  and  critical component supply services, AJW continues to develop a service portfolio which now incorporates component  repair  as  well  as  integrated  consumables,  engine  and  airframe  part-out  activities.  A significant  global  leader,  AJW  serves  a  customer  base  of  more  than  800  airlines  with  over  400 aircraft under contract.
