Lufthansa Technik has taken over the total component support (TCS) for Air India’s entire Boeing 777 fleet. The multi-year agreement, signed on July 4, in Gurugram, India, encompasses services for a total of 27 aircraft. With this first contract, both companies are laying the foundations for long-term cooperation.
Starting in July 2024, Air India will receive Lufthansa Technik’s proven total component support (TCS). The newly concluded agreement includes the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of aircraft components, providing Air India access to Lufthansa Technik’s global component pool and logistics services. The close partnership between the two companies will enable the airline to maximise efficiency in its technical operations and ensure the best possible availability of the spare parts it needs.
S.K. Dash, Chief Technical Officer at Air India, said: “The partnership with the well-experienced Lufthansa Technik for the component support of our entire Boeing 777 fleet of 27 aircraft is a significant milestone in our collaborative journey. Lufthansa Technik demonstrated professional ad-hoc support for our Boeing 777 fleet, and we are delighted to strengthen this relationship further by way of this long-term agreement.”
Besides Air India, Lufthansa Technik has been associated with Tata group airline companies Vistara in the field of Boeing 787 components since 2020 and with Air India Express in the area of Engine Maintenance Service since January this year.
