easyJet and Lufthansa Technik Milan have signed a three-year extension to their previous contract for ongoing light base maintenance on easyJet's extensive Airbus A320-family fleet. This extended agreement, now set to run until mid-2027, will see two of easyJet's 300+ aircraft pass through Milan every night for a range of high-quality maintenance services. The contract covers aircraft operated under easyJet UK, easyJet Switzerland, and easyJet Austria's Air Operator Certificates (AOCs).
The scope of work for easyJet includes comprehensive phase checks, which allow larger, mandatory maintenance tasks for the A320 fleet to be divided into smaller, intensive inspections during each night stopover at Lufthansa Technik Milan. For instance, a major C1-check can be distributed across up to 64 smaller visits, referred to as P-checks, to optimise efficiency. Beyond these scheduled inspections, Lufthansa Technik Milan will support easyJet with additional tasks as needed, including structural repairs, modifications, component or engine replacements and interior repairs.
Brendan McConnellogue, Director of Engineering and Maintenance at easyJet, commented on the partnership: “As a long-standing customer of Lufthansa Technik Milan, we value their highly skilled workforce, flexibility and customer-focused attitude and so we look forward to the next chapter in our joint success story with confidence that our fleet is in safe hands.”
