The new Total Component Support contract governs supply for up to eight Airbus A330F aircraft over a period of eight years.
Lufthansa Technik, a provider of aircraft maintenance, repair, overhaul and modification services for civil aircraft, announced to have signed a comprehensive Total Component Support (TCS) with Mexican carrier mas, formerly known as MasAir. The contract will cover the repair and overhaul of components for mas´s Airbus A330F fleet. The new contract governs supply for up to eight Airbus A330F aircraft over the period of the next eight years. This is the second contract between the two companies as Lufthansa Technik already supports the Boeing 767F fleet with its Total Component Support (TCS) product.
With the A330F Total Component Support TCS agreement, Mexican carrier mas benefits from an individual supply concept that enables short and rapid transport paths. Component support of the Mexican carrier mas fleet will be ensured through an on-site stock to be established in Mexico City, Mexico. The A330F fleet will be supported by Lufthansa Technik’s component pools located in North America and Europe.
Luis Sierra, Chief Executive Officer of mas, said, “Our new A330 logistic network is a global network with destinations in Asia, Europe and America. To support our network, we need a global player in technical aircraft services whose experience and reliability we highly value. Lufthansa Technik already proves day by day to deliver first class services, which is required for our operation. This is especially important now that we are on an ambitious fleet expansion plan.”
