Air Astana signs engine services contract with LHT

Air Astana, the national carrier of Kazakhstan, has concluded an exclusive long-term repair and overhaul agreement with Lufthansa Technik for the V2500 engines powering its Airbus A320 fleet. Peter Foster, President and CEO, signed the corresponding contract. Lufthansa Technik will provide the full range of engine repair and overhaul services, including warranty management and spare engine coverage.
After several of its V2500 engines have been overhauled by Lufthansa Technik since 2015, Air Astana was able to assess the quality, reliability and timely performance of work by its partner. The new contract covers 25 planned shop visits and any non-scheduled removals. The engine repair and overhaul will be performed in Lufthansa Technik’s engine shop in Hamburg. The first engine to be overhauled under the terms of the new contract is scheduled to arrive in the shop in April.
