Lufthansa Technik expands footprint in South America

- Five-year contract with Chilean JetSMART for CAMO and Aircraft
Engineering Services

- Another airline of the Indigo Partners Group relies on Lufthansa
Technik's services

Another of many examples that Lufthansa Technik is a true global
leader in MRO of aircraft (maintenance, repair and overhaul) is a new
partnership with which Lufthansa Technik is expanding its footprint
in South America.  "We are proud that we can now also welcome the
Chilean JetSMART among our customers," says Georgios Ouzounidis, Vice
President Corporate Sales Americas at Lufthansa Technik. "It is an
honour that we are now working with another major airline of the
Indigo Partners Group."

The contract with JetSMART runs for five years and includes extensive
CAMO (Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization) support and
Aircraft Engineering Services, such as maintenance program support or
modification and component management. The collaboration has already
begun and will initially cover 25 Airbus A320 family aircraft. With
the planned growth of the airline, the fleet is expected to increase
rapidly until 2027. To ensure the best possible service, Lufthansa
Technik has set up onsite support for the customer in Santiago de
Chile.

"JetSMART appreciates the knowledge Lufthansa Technik has in regard
to aircraft engineering services," says Estuardo Ortiz, CEO at
JetSMART. "We were looking not only for a supplier. We were looking
for a partner that can support our growth, is flexible enough to
adapt to our AOC setup and is providing safe and stable processes."

After the first weeks of cooperation, both sides are very satisfied.
"Engineering and CAMO are mission-critical areas," says Christian
Dieckert, Head of Engineering Services at Lufthansa Technik. "We are
therefore very pleased with the trust JetSMART has placed in us and,
of course, with the positive feedback we are receiving from our new
partners."
