German airline Lufthansa CityLine has selected StandardAero to provide support for its GE Aviation CF34-8C turbofan engines powering its fleet of MHI RJ Aviation (formerly Bombardier) CRJ900 regional jets.
Under the exclusive seven-year agreement, StandardAero will support Lufthansa CityLine with a range of CF34-8C services from its overhaul facility in Winnipeg, MB, Canada. StandardAero will also be qualifying its European field service team based in Rijen, the Netherlands to support the CF34, thereby assuring Lufthansa CityLine of responsive local airside assistance.
Lufthansa CityLine is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lufthansa, operating feeder flights from hubs at Frankfurt Airport and Munich Airport.
StandardAero was first appointed as a GE Aviation Authorized Service Provider (ASP) for the CF34-3 and CF34-8 engines in 2001, and in 2013 was named by GE as the first independent TRUEngine authorized MRO provider for the CF34 engine. In 2020, the company celebrated its milestone 3,000th CF34 engine workscope.
