This extension will strengthen Lufthansa Technik’s business in the Asian market, one of the strongest growing regions.
South Korea’s Asiana Airlines have extended their contract with Lufthansa Technik for the repair and overhaul of Asiana’s CF6-80 engines powering the airline’s Boeing 747 and 767 fleets. The 5-year non-exclusive contract is covering a total of 17 B767-300 and B747-400 aircraft.
This extension will strengthen Lufthansa Technik’s business in the Asian market, one of the strongest growing regions, and generate a stable workload for the CF6 product line over the next years.
Hoon Bae, General Manager of Aircraft & Supplies Purchasing at Asiana Airlines said, “There were numerous good reasons to choose Lufthansa Technik as our preferred MRO partner again. With the seamless support and services that have been delivered, we are very confident that Lufthansa Technik will always do their very best to keep us flying.”
Kijung Shin, Corporate Key Account Manager at Lufthansa Technik said, “We are very proud that Asiana Airlines has decided to extend our trustful cooperation. We look forward to further supporting them with our know-how and engine service capabilities.”
Lufthansa Technik and Asiana Airlines have been working together for more than 25 years already. Lufthansa Technik also provides component maintenance for the Asiana Boeing 777-200ER fleet, an integrated Total Component Support for the airline’s Airbus A320F and A350 fleets, and CF6 engine support and heavy maintenance for the carrier’s Airbus A380 fleet.
