Lufthansa Technik is expanding its footprint in India by deepening its partnership with IndiGo, one of the country's largest and fastest-growing airlines. Under new long-term agreements, Lufthansa Technik has been appointed to provide extensive lease return support and comprehensive maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services for a substantial portion of IndiGo's Airbus A320-family fleet.
These new contracts cover both base maintenance and single component maintenance, reinforcing IndiGo's commitment to fleet readiness and operational efficiency. To meet the scale and flexibility required by the Gurugram-based carrier, Lufthansa Technik will carry out base maintenance services at two of its major global facilities: Lufthansa Technik Sofia in Bulgaria and Lufthansa Technik Philippines. Additionally, single component maintenance will be handled at the company's Hamburg workshop, ensuring precise, timely execution of lease return tasks.
IndiGo operates a rapidly growing fleet of A320 and A321 aircraft, with expansion occurring at a remarkable pace — nearly one new aircraft is added each week. The airline's fleet strategy includes a continued reliance on wet- and damp-leased aircraft to maintain operational agility and scalability in a competitive aviation market.
By selecting Lufthansa Technik, IndiGo is reinforcing its focus on flexibility, cost efficiency and technical reliability. Lufthansa Technik, known for its extensive expertise in lease return processes and component maintenance, has established itself as a dependable MRO partner for customers worldwide. This deepened collaboration underscores both companies' ambitions to meet the increasing demands of one of the world's fastest-growing aviation markets.
