Air Serbia, the national airline of the Republic of Serbia, and Lufthansa Technik (LHT) have signed a minimum five-year contract to provide Total Component Support (TCS®) for its current and future Airbus A320ceo-family fleet. The contract includes comprehensive MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) services as well as spare parts pooling and home-base services for the required components in Belgrade, Serbia, starting in January 2024.
Jiri Marek, CEO of Air Serbia, commented: “We have ambitious goals for our airline, and if we look toward the end of the next decade, our airline could have more than 50 aircraft. This requires a reliable partner that supports us with the best possible services – also at our home base in Belgrade. The partnership with Lufthansa Technik will therefore contribute to the operational excellence for Air Serbia.”
Lufthansa Technik has been supporting Air Serbia with landing gear and other services for its Airbus A320 fleet since 2020.
Air Serbia is the national airline of the Republic of Serbia, the successor of the first national airline, Aeroput, established in Belgrade in 1927. The airline has been operating under its present name since October 2013. The airline operates scheduled, seasonal and charter flights to over 80 destinations in Europe, the Mediterranean, North America, Asia and Africa, in passenger and cargo traffic. In cooperation with its airline partners, the carrier offers flights to international destinations in Asia, Australia, North America and Africa. In addition to Nikola Tesla Airport in Belgrade, which is its base, Air Serbia also flies from Constantine the Great Airport in Niš and from International Airport Morava near Kraljevo.
