FL Technics will provide a full scope of services to Wizz Air, including wheels and brakes services, repair and overhaul storage, and supply chain solutions for the Airbus A320 aircraft fleet.
FL Technics and Wizz Air have announced the signing of an agreement for wheels and brakes solutions to be provided over the course of 5 years. The contract will commence in October when FL Technics will provide wheels and brakes services for Wizz Air’s ever-expanding fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft family. FL Technics will provide a full scope of services to the airline, including repair and overhaul, storage, and supply chain, as well as management solutions.
Zilvinas Lapinskas, CEO, FL Technics said, “With sustainable business in mind, our teams have been long-term partners now in a number of business areas including line maintenance and base services. Trust gained over the years lead to this new development and cooperation, to further expand synergies between our organizations.”
The FL Technics wheels and brakes solutions are the latest addition to the already extensive portfolio of partnerships between the two companies, as Wizz Air leverages the capacity and capabilities of an independent global MRO network operated by FL Technics. Increasing demand for commercial flights and new routes within the European continent has forced MRO organizations and airline companies to look for new ways to improve the efficiency and sustainability of mutual operations.
Saulius Bajarunas, COO, FL Technics said, “Nowadays, every business within the aviation industry seeks trusted and reliable partnerships to endure the challenging and ever-changing environment within global markets. In such context, I am glad and proud that our companies continue to build long-lasting partnerships on multiple levels to develop unique integrated operations, as FL Technics leverages scale, capacity, and capabilities to support such a demanding and fast-growing carrier as Wizz Air.”
This integrated approach by both companies will allow FL Technics to maximize the efficiency of services and, moreover, significantly contribute to the airlines’ effort in reducing the impact on the environment, both by faster turn-around times and lower flight ranges necessary between the maintenance visits.
Julia Brix, Head of Technical Services, Wizz Air Group said, “Wizz Air continues the strong growth path in this decade to offer affordable travel opportunities to our customers. The airline group has an order book of more than 350 A320 family aircraft and needs tailored services for save and reliable operation. FL Technics’ competitive cost base, operational flexibility and high performance quality gave us the confidence to award the Wheels and Brakes business to FL Technics. We are looking forward to starting this cooperation and continue the successful joint growth path in the next years.”
