Lufthansa Technik AG commences component support for Finnair's new aircraft type

With its customer Finnair launching operations of its first Airbus A350 XWB, Lufthansa Technik AG commenced the component support for the new aircraft type. The first European airline to operate the A350, Finnair, signed a twelve-year contract in May with Lufthansa Technik. As part of the exclusive Total Component Support TCS, Lufthansa Technik holds some 1,000 individual components at the ready – from cockpit computers and air conditioning systems to in-flight entertainment systems. These will be primarily repaired by Lufthansa Technik in the component workshops in Hamburg and made available quickly worldwide in the event of an AOG (Aircraft on Ground). Lufthansa Technik’s main warehouse in Frankfurt is the logistical backbone. The scope of the spare parts supply is expanding with the growth of the A350 fleet operated by the airline, which has firm orders for 19 aircraft of this type.
