Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA (Norwegian) has renewed its partnership with Lufthansa Technik (LHT) for an additional five years. This extended agreement covers base maintenance services for Norwegian's fleet of over 80 Boeing 737NG and 737MAX aircraft. Starting on August 1, 2025, the contract will be executed at Lufthansa Technik's Budapest facility and encompasses a total of 120 scheduled maintenance checks.
The extension ensures Norwegian Air Shuttle will have guaranteed maintenance slots, addressing operational needs with a customised performance package. For any unscheduled or supplementary maintenance requirements, Norwegian will also gain access to LHT's extensive European overhaul network.
“We are grateful for Norwegian's continued trust in Lufthansa Technik's expertise and we are pleased to extend our long-standing partnership,” said Marcus Motschenbacher, Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer Aircraft Maintenance Services at Lufthansa Technik.
“This ongoing cooperation demonstrates that our services are aligned with our customers' needs. We look forward to continuing to contribute the expertise of our B737 Center of Excellence in Budapest to the success of this innovative airline.”
This agreement builds on a robust 17-year relationship between the two companies. Their collaboration began with a contract for component services and expanded over time to include wheel and brake maintenance, as well as engine overhauls for CFM56-7B engines. Since 2012, LHT has provided overhaul services for Norwegian's Boeing 737NG aircraft, contributing to the operational efficiency of the airline.
Headquartered at Fornebu near Oslo, Norwegian Air Shuttle continues to reinforce its commitment to high maintenance standards while prioritising reliable operations for its customers. By extending this partnership, Norwegian capitalises on Lufthansa Technik's extensive expertise and network to maintain its fleet to the highest standards.
