Collins Aerospace Systems and Lufthansa Technik have announced a first-of-its-kind licensing and asset agreement for Airbus A380 main landing gear Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) services. Under the agreement, which spans the life of the A380 program, Lufthansa Technik will be able to provide A380 main landing gear MRO services and access to assets supporting customer layover schedules.
To help Lufthansa Technik develop MRO capabilities for the A380 main landing gear, Collins Aerospace will provide training, parts and proprietary repair procedures, including access to technical publications required to perform A380 main landing gear MRO services.
Lufthansa Technik will offer asset management services through access to a collaboratively managed main landing gears pool of Collins Aerospace.
“This agreement will provide A380 operators with more options for their main landing gear MRO services from high-quality repair centers,” said Ajay Mahajan, president of Landing Systems at Collins Aerospace. “Lufthansa Technik and Collins Aerospace have enjoyed a longstanding, collaborative relationship and we look forward to continuing to work together to better meet the MRO needs of our customers moving forward.”
