According to the new agreement, Boeing, ESG Elektroniksystem- und Logistik and Lufthansa Technik will be the group liable for executing the P-8A sustainment program in Germany.
Boeing, ESG Elektroniksystem-und Logistik-GmbH and Lufthansa Technik have consented to a three-party agreement that builds up joint endeavors to help Germany’s new P-8A Poseidon fleet. The new arrangement expands on two separate Memorandum of Understanding that were marked independently with ESG and Lufthansa Technik in 2021 and presently includes every one of the three gatherings, illustrating extra insight about each organization’s job in the German P-8A program.
Indra Duivenvoorde, Senior Director, Boeing Government Services Europe & Israel, said, “We are expanding our partnership with ESG and Lufthansa Technik in the form of a three-party agreement that will allow us to best support our German customer and the operational needs of the German Navy. This partnership demonstrates our commitment to directly supporting our customer locally with German industry primes.”
With the formalization of this new industry organization, Boeing, ESG and Lufthansa Technik will offer help to the German client in every aspect of airplane sustainment and training that will bring the highest operation accessibility to the German Navy’s P-8A fleet.
Christoph Otten, CEO ESG, said, “This agreement underlines our joint performance promise and our commitment to provide the Bundeswehr with urgently needed capabilities”, “At the same time, we see this as a special obligation to proactively contribute our capabilities and competencies to the programme as a long-standing technology and innovation partner of the German Armed Forces and the Naval Aviation Command, particularly in the areas of systems integration, aviation certification or secure communication.”
Michael von Puttkamer, Vice President Special Aircraft Services at Lufthansa Technik said,“The three companies complement each other in an excellent way. This enables us to offer the best possible service level over the entire life cycle of the aircraft; We are very much looking forward to further cooperation with our partners.”

Boeing has estimated that the P-8A program will employ up to 250 people in Germany. Conveyed all over the globe with almost 150 airplanes conveyed or in assistance, and more than 450,000 collective disaster free flight hours, the P-8A is fundamental for worldwide anti-submarine fighting, knowledge, observation and surveillance and search-and-salvage operations.
