SAS Scandinavian Airlines has prematurely extended its existing component support contract with Lufthansa Technik and added further services.
Under the new agreement, running until December 2026, Lufthansa Technik will provide an integrated material supply (Total Component Support, TCS®) for the airline’s entire Boeing and Airbus fleet, including the carrier’s new A350s. In addition, Lufthansa Technik will provide Airframe Related Components (ARC®) services for the Boeing and Airbus fleets including LEAP-1A nacelle support.
Under the Total Component Support (TCS®) contract, Lufthansa Technik supplies spare parts to the airline’s Scandinavian hubs. Lufthansa Technik is also responsible for base maintenance of the carrier’s A330 and A340 long-haul aircraft as well as for the maintenance and repair of composites structures (Airframe Related Components, ARC®).
The contract expansion also covers nacelle support for SAS’ fleet of A320neo aircraft, powered by LEAP-1A engines. Additionally, the agreement entails A350 wheels and brakes services.
The first of eight Airbus A350s on order has just recently entered the SAS fleet. As part of the modernization of the short- and long-haul fleet, SAS will take delivery of new Airbus A320neo (80), Airbus A330 Enhanced (5), Airbus A350 (8) and Airbus A321LR (3) aircraft before the end of 2023.
