Lufthansa Technik and Hebei Airlines have reinforced their long-term collaboration by signing a new engine maintenance services contract. This agreement covers the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of CFM56-7B engines used in Hebei Airlines’ Boeing 737-800 fleet. The maintenance work will commence this year at Lufthansa Technik’s engine facility in Hamburg, Germany.
During the contract signing in Shijiazhuang, Chen Hongbo, General Manager of Hebei Airlines, expressed his confidence in Lufthansa Technik’s expertise. He highlighted the airline’s satisfaction with the company’s past performance and stated that the partnership was now progressing beyond mobile engine services to a more extensive collaboration in engine maintenance.
Jens Michel, Vice President of Corporate Sales Northeast Asia at Lufthansa Technik, welcomed the extended agreement, emphasising that customer satisfaction and trust are key indicators of the company’s service quality. He assured that Lufthansa Technik’s teams would continue to work diligently to keep Hebei Airlines’ engines in optimal condition. Additionally, he acknowledged the significance of this contract in strengthening Lufthansa Technik’s presence in the Chinese aviation market.
Lufthansa Technik has been working with Hebei Airlines since 2019, providing mobile engine services, including rapid engine repairs aimed at maximising engine lifespan, improving flight safety, and preventing in-flight shutdowns. This latest agreement builds upon their established relationship, further solidifying Lufthansa Technik’s role as a trusted maintenance provider for the Chinese airline.
