Turkish Technic has strengthened its long-standing partnership with SunExpress Airlines through the signing of two major service agreements. SunExpress, a joint venture between Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa, will benefit from Turkish Technic’s capabilities to maintain the operational readiness of its fleet.
The first agreement provides SunExpress with comprehensive component pool support, granting access to Turkish Technic’s extensive inventory of aircraft components, specifically tailored for Boeing 737NG and Boeing 737MAX fleets. This arrangement ensures optimal component availability, significantly reducing downtime and enhancing overall fleet performance. By leveraging Turkish Technic’s well-resourced inventory and dedicated support, SunExpress aims to minimise turnaround times for its aircraft, enhancing reliability and service consistency for its passengers.
Complementing this service, the second agreement covers full landing gear overhaul and spare part operations for SunExpress’ Boeing 737NG fleet. This vital maintenance will ensure that SunExpress meets stringent safety standards while maximising the lifespan of its landing gear systems, critical to both the performance and safety of the aircraft. Together, these comprehensive agreements underscore Turkish Technic’s commitment to supporting the operational continuity of SunExpress, allowing the airline to focus on delivering punctual and reliable services to its customers.
Max Kownatzki, CEO of SunExpress, highlighted the importance of the ongoing collaboration with Turkish Technic, stating, “Our well-established collaboration with Turkish Technic reflects our commitment to safety and efficiency. The component support and landing gear maintenance services will help us maintain our operational reliability and performance at the highest standards. We believe that our partnership will continue to enhance our operational excellence, ensuring safe and reliable services for our customers.”
SunExpress, operating primarily across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, stands to benefit greatly from Turkish Technic’s expertise. By ensuring swift and efficient access to components and critical systems maintenance, the airline is better positioned to maintain its operational schedules and provide a seamless travel experience. These agreements also demonstrate Turkish Technic’s commitment to the Turkish aviation industry, supporting its role in enabling international connectivity and promoting industry standards.
