Azerbaijan Airlines and Lufthansa Technik AG have signed a comprehensive five-year contract regarding a total component support (TCS) for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner wide-body long-range fleet of the Republic of Azerbaijan's national air carrier.
The carrier's first TCS contract, which comes into effect on May 1, will significantly strengthen Azerbaijan Airlines' technical operations. It will give the airline 24/7 access to Lufthansa Technik's global spare parts pool network. Among other services, the TCS includes an AOG (aircraft on ground) support that guarantees Azerbaijan Airlines the shortest possible delivery for time-critical components. In an important strategic step for the provision of maintenance and technical services, the contract has been tailored to include additional flexibility, so that it can easily cover the carrier's planned fleet expansion.
