The Lufthansa Technik Philippines and Cebu Pacific collaboration, which started in 2011 with line maintenance, has now expanded to include base maintenance for both A320 and A330 fleets.
Lufthansa Technik Philippines (LTP) initiated base maintenance for Cebu Pacific’s first Airbus A330neo aircraft, RP-C3900, on November 17, 2023. This marks the beginning of a series of maintenance events to support Cebu Pacific’s expanding A330neo fleet. The collaboration, which started in 2011 with line maintenance, has now expanded to include base maintenance for both A320 and A330 fleets. Cebu Pacific, in line with its ongoing fleet modernization efforts, currently operates five A330neo aircraft, with the anticipation of an additional eleven arriving soon. This base maintenance collaboration is crucial to ensuring the airworthiness and reliability of the growing fleet.
Lufthansa Technik Philippines is conducting the inaugural base maintenance for Cebu Pacific’s A330neo aircraft, symbolizing the deepening collaboration between the two companies. The partnership between Cebu Pacific and Lufthansa Technik Philippines began in 2011 with line maintenance for CEB’s narrow-body fleet. It has evolved over the years to include comprehensive base maintenance services for both A320 and A330 fleets.
Shevantha Weerasekera, Vice President Engineering and Fleet Management, Cebu Pacific said, “This collaboration with Lufthansa Technik Philippines is a testament to our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety and quality in our operations. We are excited about the partnership and look forward to achieving new heights together.”
