The Lufthansa Technik contract covers the transition of 12 Boeing 737-800 and 17 Airbus A330 leased China Airlines jets to be undertaken at various locations across the Asia-Pacific region.
Lufthansa Technik has announced that China Airlines (CAL) has awarded a three-year contract for Aircraft Transition Services to Lufthansa Technik AG, a leading MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) provider. This contract covers the transition of 12 Boeing 737-800 and 17 Airbus A330 leased aircraft belonging to China Airlines. In total, 29 projects will be undertaken at various locations across the Asia-Pacific region.
Lufthansa Technik is renowned for its expertise in managing aircraft transitions, with over 400 transition projects worldwide. Aircraft Transition Services facilitate the complex process of transitioning aircraft, from the initial assessment to long-term lease asset management and lease returns, making it more efficient and manageable for operators.
Jason Tsai, Vice President Engineering Division Operations, China Airlines said, “The 29 aircraft come from 11 different leasing companies. That’s why we need a reliable partner who knows the business best. From our experience, we know that Lufthansa Technik fullfills both criteria.”
This collaboration between China Airlines and Lufthansa Technik is not new; they have been working together for many years. In 2022, both companies extended their Total Component Support (TCS) contract for an additional six years at least.
