In 2021, we announced a worldwide sole distributor agreement (SDA) with Honeywell for the global sales of A320, A330, A340 and A380 Air Data Inertial Reference Unit (ADIRU) PN HG2030BE04. Subsequent SDAs were added for a range of standard-fit products for the Boeing 787, and ADIRU (PN HG2050BC04) for B737NG and current B737 MAX aircraft. Click here for an overview and product list.
Rotable components can be very capital intensive when purchased outright. So we offer our customers tailored financial solutions that traditional banking sources fail to provide.
Our understanding of the parts market provides a more accurate view on residual value, which translates into more competitive rates and terms.
Please contact AJW Leasing to discuss how we can work with your specific requirements.

Noelia Hernandez
Strategic Asset Manager
Describing herself as Spanish with a deep love for British culture, Noelia Hernandez moved back to the UK in September 2012 and joined AJW in August 2014. Her AJW career began in sales, but she was quickly given the opportunity to develop and support a new service within the company. Her role involved supporting several airlines to efficiently return numerous aircraft at the end of lease transitions, helping them meet lease conditions, and offering on-site support.
She later moved into a role as Material & Assets Management Executive, and now, as Strategic Asset Manager, leads AJWs partnership with Honeywell. Her role involves trading, strategic purchasing, lease management, reviewing technical data, commercial evaluations and decisions, and management of components to maximize the return on investment (teardown, owned, consigned, etc.).
Having graduated as a Laboratory Technician in Spain, Noelia moved to the UK to improve her English, but once starting her career at AJW never returned to science - she believes she is an engineer at heart!
In her spare time, Noelia loves to read and has a passion for all things food related. She loves sports, travelling, British TV shows, and deep conversations.
