Cargolux contracts GEnx-2B reverser service

Cargolux has signed an agreement with Lufthansa Technik focusing on increased business between the two companies. Under the terms of a new contract, Lufthansa Technik’s Airframe Related Component (ARC) unit will provide maintenance, repair and overhaul of the thrust reversers on the Cargolux fleet of Boeing 747-8 aircraft. The all-cargo airline based in Luxembourg currently operates 14 Boeing 747-8 freighter aircraft, in addition to a fleet of twelve 747-400 freighters. Complementing a planned reverser overhaul program which includes preventive maintenance, Lufthansa Technik will provide support in case of non-scheduled events and worldwide on-site assistance. An adequate pool of spares will be established and maintained, enabling Cargolux to make use of spare thrust reversers under a loan and/or exchange program if required.
