Lufthansa Technik has announced that the company will be providing base maintenance services for ultra-low fare carrier Frontier Airlines’ Airbus A320 aircraft family under a new five-year contract.
The companies have also signed an additional agreement which covers digital aircraft diagnostic services through the AVIATAR platform.
Lufthansa Technik has been providing the US airline with components services for several years and according to Lufthansa Technik, around 300 aircraft maintenance events are now scheduled for Frontier Airlines in Puerto Rico over the next five years. This was preceded by a one-year cooperation on base maintenance services on a single line at Lufthansa Technik’s base maintenance site in the Americas.
Lufthansa Technik Puerto Rico (LTPR) facility’s strategic location in the Caribbean provides services for the company’s North, Central, and South America customers and has a state-of-the-art, five-line facility staffed by a team of over 400 highly qualified professionals at Rafael Hernández Airport in Aguadilla.
Jeffrey Moore, Vice President Technical Operations at Frontier Airlines commented: “Based on the results of our initial partnership with Lufthansa Technik Puerto Rico, we are pleased to expand the relationship with this multi-year aircraft maintenance services agreement.
“Their base maintenance, components support and AVIATAR platform will help support our focus on high quality, efficient maintenance programmes.”
Joerg Speri, Chief Executive Officer of Lufthansa Technik Puerto Rico said: “We are looking to support all aspects of base maintenance for Frontier Airlines and our other customers through our continuous commitment to excellence, quality, and safety in every project. To achieve this, we plan to integrate additional contracted services for Frontier Airlines to the upcoming maintenance activities, such as component support, and introduce new digital solutions.”
