Under the 15-year contract, more than ten China Cargo Airlines Boeing 777-200 freighters will be covered with fully customized and extensive component services.
Lufthansa Technik has signed an extension agreement for its component support with China Cargo Airlines for its cargo fleet. Lufthansa Technik AG had already entered into a component support agreement with China Cargo Airlines in 2019 to provide the airline component support for their Boeing 747-400 freighter aircraft. The extension of the contract was a result of the new Boeing 777 freighters coming into service for the airline. Under the 15-year contract, more than ten China Cargo Airlines’ Boeing 777-200 freighters will be covered with fully customized and extensive component services.
Mr. Liu Gang, Vice President, China Cargo Airlines said, “Our long-term cooperation with Lufthansa Technik has started already in 2000 and we have been great partners on the aviation journey for more than two decades. By given fully customized component service scope, we are very confident to continuously rely on Lufthansa Technik in servicing our new 777-200 freighters. “
Lufthansa Technik will support China Cargo Airlines’s main base in Shanghai with its component service offices in Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Hamburg to coordinate customer support and ensure 24/7 worldwide AOG services at different locations which are vital for flight operations. Maintenance, repair and overhaul services for the Boeing 777-200 freighters will be performed at Lufthansa Technik’s component centers in Hamburg, Germany and Shenzhen, China.
“This long-term agreement enhances Lufthansa Technik’s position as a key MRO provider on the Boeing 777 freighter components,” said Dr. Georg Fanta, Head of Commercial Aircraft Component Services, Lufthansa Technik. “We also bring a breadth of engineering expertise and extensive experience alongside with our global logistics network to provide seamless support to our customers,” he further added.
