LHT to provide component support for NEOS

The Italian airline NEOS has contracted Lufthansa Technik to provide comprehensive component support for its new Boeing 787 fleet. The first Boeing 787-9 is scheduled to be delivered to NEOS in mid-December 2017. Based at Milan-Malpensa Airport, NEOS will become the country’s first Boeing 787 operator. The new agreement is an extension of the existing component support cooperation, which began as early as 2002. The Total Component Support (TCS) contract covers component repair and overhaul, pooling and home base lease services to support NEOS’ daily operations. The component supply will be realized via the German Lufthansa Technik facilities in Frankfurt and Hamburg. In addition, Lufthansa Technik will provide independent quality assurance as part of an Aircraft Production Inspection Program for these three Boeing 787-9 at the aircraft manufacturer’s site in Seattle, Washington, USA.
