On the occasion of the Dubai Airshow 2015, Lufthansa Technik AG and Saudia Aerospace Engineering Industries (SAEI), the Aircraft Maintenance arm of Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia), have signed an agreement to enter into a strategic partnership. Lufthansa Technik will support SAEI with Aircraft Component Maintenance for Saudia’s A320 and A330 fleet and will further assist SAEI to develop the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) capabilities for Airbus and Boeing Aircraft at SAEIs facilities in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. In turn Lufthansa Technik will use SAEI as a subcontractor for those parts SAEI already holds existing capabilities. The partners also intend to jointly market their mutual capacities to third party customers in the region with commercial or military aircraft.
