Lufthansa Technik and Air France have signed a long-term agreement for the technical support of auxiliary power units (APUs) of the French airline's entire Airbus A350 fleet. Over the next six years Lufthansa Technik will provide extensive MRO services for the Honeywell HGT1700 APUs at its Hamburg site.
Lufthansa Technik has long been certified by the manufacturer Honeywell as an official partner for MRO of the HGT1700 and as an official warranty station for this APU-type. The services for Air France cover a large part of the service portfolio, such as tests, repairs and overhauls, replacement of line replaceable units and life-limited parts as well as AOG (aircraft on ground) support and engineering services. Both labour and materials are billed on a “not-to-exceed” model, allowing Air France to exercise full cost control over the agreed services at all times.
