Lufthansa Technik will become Pratt & Whitney's principal provider of mobile engine maintenance services for V2500®, PW1100G-JM, PW1500G and PW1900G engines. This new cooperation will provide Pratt & Whitney customers with more efficient and cost-effective engine maintenance.
"This agreement significantly strengthens our leading role as a global technical services provider for engine overhaul and mobile support. The increasing trend towards light engine maintenance is crucial to avoid unscheduled engine removals as well as cost-intensive, time consuming maintenance," said Dr. Johannes Bussmann, chairman of the Executive Board of Lufthansa Technik. "We combine the power of our vast network of technicians around the globe, our long-lasting expertise in MRO services, and our ability to develop innovative technical solutions with Pratt & Whitney's deep OEM knowledge to bring efficient service directly to the tarmac where airlines need it the most."
"This expanded capability offers Pratt & Whitney customers the most tailored maintenance possible with the least impact to their operations," said Matthew Bromberg, president of Pratt & Whitney Aftermarket. "Lufthansa Technik's on- or near-wing services, performed when and where they are needed, helps us provide faster service to our customers."
