At the Dubai Airshow, Lufthansa Technik and Royal Jordanian Airlines signed a contract to cover component support for the airline’s Airbus A320neo fleet. The Lufthansa Technik Total Component Support contract is in addition to Royal Jordanian’s previous agreements for the A320ceo, and it covers 20 A320neos and A321neos.
The 12-year contract includes component MRO, pooling services, and 24/7 AOG support. A base pool of components will be placed at Queen Alia International Airport near Amman.
Lufthansa Technik also announced a contract for engine MRO for Air Arabia’s CFM56-5B engines that power its Airbus A320ceo fleet. Engines needing service will be sent to Lufthansa Technik’s Hamburg facility.
Another agreement, with Air Arabia, covers nose radome repairs for another five years, with work provided by Lufthansa Technik Middle East, as part of the company’s airframe-related components portfolio. Air Arabia signed its first contract with Lufthansa Technik at the Dubai Airshow in 2015, and the airline also has a multi-year Total Component Services contract.
Etihad Airways signed a number of contracts during the airshow as part of a new strategic MRO partnership with Lufthansa Technik. These include Total Component Support for Etihad's Airbus A320 family along with AOG support and A380 landing gear maintenance at Lufthansa Technik Landing Gear Services UK.
When new Boeing 787s are delivered from the factory in Charleston, South Carolina, Lufthansa Technik will provide aircraft production inspection program experts for production oversight. In addition, the German company will use its EASA Part 21-J design organization approval to support Etihad's technical operation with enginering services.
As launch customer for Lufthansa Technik's Aviatar APU and cabin temperature monitoring service, Etihad will gain real-time overview of APU and ground-based power provisioning, which will help the airline optimize APU usage and fuel consumption. Aviatar was developed in collaboration with Revima Group's FlightWatching.
