Lufthansa Technik and Honeywell have signed a cooperation agreement in the area of maintenance of engine components. This applies to the Leap series of CFM actuators. Among other things, these are used in the A320neo, B737Max and Comac C919 series.
As part of this agreement, Lufthansa Technik will develop maintenance, repair and overhaul capacities (MRO) for the aforementioned Honeywell components. This will enable the company to offer improved and manufacturer-certified aftermarket services that increase component reliability and lower operator life cycle costs.
"We are pleased to further expand our cooperation with Honeywell," said Georg Fanta, Head of Aircraft Component Services at Lufthansa Technik. "Our customers will greatly benefit from this new agreement as we combine Lufthansa Technik's maintenance, repair, overhaul and engineering capabilities with Honeywell's design know-how. Just as with the CFM56 engines, Lufthansa Technik will be able to repair interchangeable Honeywell LEAP components in-house and offer best-in-class, flight-hour-based component services, including tailored asset management solutions."
