The Brazilian airline Avianca Brasil and Lufthansa Technik have signed a comprehensive Total Component Support (TCS®) contract, covering repair and overhaul of components for the fleet of Avianca Brasil. The fleets consist of Airbus A320 family and Airbus A330 long-haul jets. Component support of the Airbus fleet will be ensured through a home base stock to be established in São Paulo, Brazil.
In addition, Lufthansa Technik will support Avianca Brasil in the build-up of in-house capabilities, for example for the maintenance and repair of A320 emergency slides and other safety equipment. As part of the contract, Lufthansa Technik will also oversee the production of Airbus A320neo aircraft Avianca Brasil has on order. By performing independent checks during critical phases of the aircraft production, Lufthansa Technik’s Aircraft Production Inspection Program (APIP) ensures enhanced quality.
