The Supplier Product Support Agreement application enables consulting of all individual Supplier's contractual support contracts. These contracts are negotiated between Airbus and each Supplier for the benefit of Airbus' customers, for maintaining their aircraft in service.

1.2. General

Both the SSC and GCP are assigned to Airbus Customers or to any third party acquiring, hiring or leasing the aircraft, through clause 17 of the aircraft purchase agreement.

The SPSA is available on the Airbus World via the ‘On-Line Services’ or within the Material Management Community and is distributed by Airbus Technical Data & Documentations in accordance with the instructions contained in the Customer’s Aircraft Purchase Agreement (Exhibit G).

1.3. SPSA Contents

The SPSA contains the integral text of the SSC and GCP Agreements, together with the Part Numbers and associated guaranteed values, extracted from the Appendix A.

Please note that Part-Numbers listed in Appendix A, are those existing at the time of the signature of the SSC & GCP. The associated Guaranteed values shall remain valid during Customers specific guarantee period, in order to follow the evolution of Components, and when available, new part numbers and new guarantee values will be included in Appendix A. In addition, as new SSCs are made available replacing GCP contracts these will also be integrated.

Engines manufacturers are not included in the SPSA.
