Lufthansa Technik AG in Hamburg and Croatia Airlines are further expanding their cooperation. As of October 1st Croatia Airlines performs a substantial number of C-checks on Airbus A320 family aircraft on behalf of Lufthansa Technik. To achieve this, the technical arm of the renowned airline uses one of its overhaul lines at its facility in Zagreb.
The close cooperation between Croatia Airlines and Lufthansa Technik started as early as 1992. Today Lufthansa Technik provides the airline with Total Engine Support TES and Total Component Support TCS, as well as services covering Airframe Related Components (ARC) and landing gears. Lufthansa Technik had taken over the component support for the Bombardier Q400 fleet of the Croatian airline only recently. Croatia Airlines on the other hand has already performed C-checks for Lufthansa Technik for a while.
