Global aircraft maintenance program provider JSSI has launched a new marketplace for its customers, offering preferred discounts, and special offers from its own services, as well as from its affiliates and select vendors, the company announced Monday at EBACE 2018. With nearly 2,000 clients on its programs, representing a significant portion of the business aviation market, the company looks to provide them with additional benefits.

 


"The idea is to enhance value for our customers and to provide an exclusive channel for suppliers, our vendors, to offer their services as well,” said president and CEO Neil Book. “Every month when our customers come to report flight hours and cycles, they come to the MyJSSI portal. Starting today through the portal, you will be able to access an entirely new suite of products and services.”

 


Among the first offerings are products within the JSSI family (Booth A89), including its newly-acquired Conklin &amp; de Decker, JSSI Parts, Jet Engine Leasing, and appraisals and inspections through JSSI Advisory Services. Book noted the marketplace will be expanded to other third-party providers involving insurance and security services, offering benefits such as special pricing on specific travel location assessments.

 


“The discounts will be for our customers as a way to offer value for being on the JSSI program,” noted Book. “Fuel is in the pipeline as well, and we’re currently talking to a couple suppliers there.”

Through its web portal, JSSI customers will have access to special deals and offers from its own portfolio and third party vendors.
