PIA signs engine support contract with Lufthansa Technik

Lufthansa Technik and Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) signed a comprehensive engine support contract. The German company will look after the Pratt & Whitney PW4000 engines of the six Airbus A310s in PIA’s fleet. The five-year contract covers spare engine support, engineering services, logistics and repair and overhaul. The new partnership follows the recent signing of a three-year contract covering technical services for the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW127 engines in PIA’s fleet of six ATR42 turboprop aircraft, to be provided by Lufthansa Technik’s subsidiary Lufthansa Technik AERO Alzey. The first engine is currently undergoing overhaul at its facility near Frankfurt.
