Lufthansa Technik Logistik and SuperJet International extend collaboration

Lufthansa Technik Logistik (LTL) and SuperJet International are stepping up their collaboration that dates from the beginning of 2009. Under a contract extension LTL will supplement the warehousing service it already provides in Frankfurt, by taking over all the transport services for the Italian-Russian aircraft manufacturer, thus ensuring rapid and reliable spares provisioning for customers of SuperJet. Lufthansa Technik Logistik was selected by SuperJet International to be its global logistics provider two years ago. In this capacity in the medium term Lufthansa Technik Logistik will hold spares from the aircraft manufacturer’s component pool in its Frankfurt warehouse. Under the new agreement LTL will now also be responsible for transporting materials from SuperJet International’s suppliers in France, Switzerland, Germany, the United Kingdom and the USA to the LTL warehouse in Frankfurt and from there to the Superjet 100 operators. This will include not only routine transports but also ad hoc support in the event of an aircraft on ground (AOG) incident.
