Lufthansa Technik's Hamburg facility is getting ready to welcome its first LEAP engine for servicing next year, with the Lufthansa Group's MRO division announcing that preparations were already under way to provide on-wing and MRO services for CFM International's new family of engines.
To make this possible, Lufthansa Technik will be providing its staff with training courses and investing in tools, but will also be concentrating on developing the services of its Airline Support Team (AST®) support department.
At the start of October, the Franco-American engine manufacturer had granted a licence to the first two third-party MRO companies, Lufthansa Technik and AFI KLM E&M, enabling them to propose and carry out maintenance services for LEAP-1As (A320neo family) and LEAP-1Bs (737 MAX family).
The world's number one Airline MRO has already indicated that it will be proposing its services for the full LEAP engine lifecycle, from engine overhaul and parts repair to on-wing support and innovative engineering; from work scoping to active cost of ownership. Lufthansa Technik specifies that its different capacities are being put in place step by step.
Remember that the first LEAP engines entered commercial service on a Pegasus Airlines A320neo, with the Turkish airline's aircraft due to be serviced in the first half of 2018 at Aerostar in Romania.
