Parker Aerospace Group and LHT sign long-term agreement for Airbus A350 component support and service

Parker Aerospace and Lufthansa Technik have signed an agreement for long-term collaboration for Airbus A350 component maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services. The agreement, being announced at MRO Europe 2017, covers the majority of repairable components for the Parker-designed A350 fuel, hydraulic, and fuel tank inerting systems. The agreement between Lufthansa Technik and Parker Aerospace will encompass the joint development of repair procedures to increase component and systems reliability and reduce related maintenance costs for airline customers worldwide. Airbus and operators benefit from shared best practices and collaborative approaches to continuous improvement in repair performance. The collaboration will help optimize services by focusing on repair development, instead of replacing components, keeping them in flight longer to reduce costs.
