Wizz Air has signed FL Technics to provide wheels and brakes solutions for the A320 fleet for 5 years. As a part of the agreement, FL Technics will provide a full scope of services including repair and overhaul, storage, and supply chain, as well as management solutions.
Zilvinas Lapinskas, CEO of FL Technics, pointed out the long-term partnership: “With sustainable business in mind, our teams have been long-term partners now in a number of business areas including line maintenance and base services. Trust gained over the years led to this new development and cooperation, to further expand synergies between our organizations.”
Julia Brix, Head of Technical Services for Wizz Air Group, said: “Wizz Air continues the strong growth path in this decade to offer affordable travel opportunities to our customers. The airline group has an order book of more than 350 A320 family aircraft and needs tailored services for safe and reliable operation. FL Technics’ competitive cost base, operational flexibility, and high-performance quality gave us the confidence to award the Wheels and Brakes business to FL Technics. We are looking forward to starting this cooperation and continuing the successful joint growth path in the next years.”
FL Technics claims that its integrated approach will enable the airline to maximise the efficiency of services and help in reducing the impact on the environment, both by faster turn-around times and lower flight ranges necessary between the maintenance visits.
