aviation: Saudia and Lufthansa Technik are expanding their cooperation

Saudia Technic and Lufthansa Technik signed a ten-year Total Component Support (TCS) contract at the Dubai Airshow, focusing on Saudia’s Airbus fleet. The collaboration builds on Lufthansa Technik’s supply of components to Saudia’s Boeing fleet since the beginning of the year. In addition, the companies are introducing a joint training program that begins in January 2024.

The TCS contract that has now been concluded covers 53 Airbus A320 and 31 A330 aircraft. Saudia Technic receives round-the-clock access to Lufthansa Technik’s global component pool for all aircraft. The TCS contract also includes Aircraft on Ground (AOG) support, which guarantees the fastest possible delivery of time-critical components. The agreement will significantly strengthen Saudia Technic’s technical operations and complement its own resources. Lufthansa Technik already regrets 39 Boeing 777s (35 777-300ERs and FR 777Fs) and 18 Boeing 787 aircraft (13 787-9s and five 787-10s) from Saudia.

Fahd H. Cynndy, CEO of Saudia Technic, said: “Due to the excellent experience with Lufthansa Technik in providing total component support to our Boeing fleet, we did not hesitate to award the contract for our Airbus fleet to them as well .” . We look forward to expanding our close partnership even further.”
