- Multi-year contract with Frontier on aircraft maintenance services
at Lufthansa Technik Puerto Rico
- Agreement includes digital aircraft diagnostic support through
AVIATAR platform
Lufthansa Technik will provide base maintenance services for
ultra-low fare carrier Frontier Airlines' Airbus A320 aircraft family
under a new five-year contract. An additional agreement covers
digital aircraft diagnostic services through the AVIATAR platform.
Approximately 300 aircraft maintenance events are scheduled for
Frontier Airlines in Puerto Rico over the next five years. This was
preceded by a one-year cooperation on base maintenance services on a
single line at Lufthansa Technik's base maintenance site in the
Americas. Since several years Lufthansa Technik has also been
providing the US airline with components services.
Two base maintenance lines reserved in Puerto Rico
Lufthansa Technik Puerto Rico (LTPR) specializes in providing
maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services to the Airbus A320
aircraft family. The facility's strategic location in the Caribbean
allows it to serve the needs of customers from North, Central, and
South America. Covering an extensive area of 215,000 feet, the
company boasts a state-of-the-art, five-line facility staffed by a
team of over 400 highly qualified professionals at Rafael Hernández
Airport in Aguadilla.
"Based on the results of our initial partnership with Lufthansa
Technik Puerto Rico, we are pleased to expand the relationship with
this multi-year aircraft maintenance services agreement," said
Jeffrey Moore, Vice President Technical Operations at Frontier
Airlines. "Their base maintenance, components support and AVIATAR
platform will help support our focus on high quality, efficient
maintenance programs."
Joerg Speri, Chief Executive Officer of Lufthansa Technik Puerto
Rico, emphasizes: "We are looking to support all aspects of base
maintenance for Frontier Airlines and our other customers through our
continuous commitment to excellence, quality, and safety in every
project. To achieve this, we plan to integrate additional contracted
services for Frontier Airlines to the upcoming maintenance
activities, such as component support, and introduce new digital
solutions."
Frontier Airlines choses AVIATAR for digital fleet support
Frontier Airlines has also signed a long-term agreement to fully
harness the advantages of AVIATAR. The ultra-low-fare carrier will
benefit from a vast area of digital products from predictive health
analytics to condition monitoring. AVIATAR's condition monitoring
collects data from various sources to offer an unparalleled overview
of an aircraft's status and components. Predictive health analytics
anticipates issues, minimizing downtime, transforming maintenance
events, and offering proactive recommendations, enhancing component
troubleshooting efficiency. This lowers the costs of maintenance and
avoids operational incidents, delays or AOGs.
