Lufthansa Technik and Avianca have signed a five-year contract for the Colombian carrier to receive instant and real-time information about the configuration and condition of its Airbus A320 and A330 aircraft as well as their engines and components.
The deal takes in Lufthansa Technik’s AVIATAR products, with the condition monitoring aspect offering immediate detection of faults, which increases troubleshooting efficiency and enables corrective actions allowing for higher aircraft availability.
"The agreement we have signed with Lufthansa Technik shows our commitment to the digitalisation of our airline and aircraft maintenance. Through the AVIATAR platform, we will be able to receive in-depth data access to each one of our Airbus aircraft and its maintenance messages, which enables our work order tracking and scheduling to be much more seamless and integrated in the future," said Álan Oliver, Avianca's maintenance control centre director.
"Avianca has been a partner of Lufthansa Technik for more than 16 years and this agreement further solidifies the trust we have in each other as we continue to move together towards the digital age of condition monitoring,” said Georgios Ouzounidis, vice president corporate sales for the Americas at Lufthansa Technik.
