Ten-year Total Component Support (TCS) for most modern type in
Condor's long-haul fleet
First ever TCS for the Airbus A330neo
Today at MRO Europe in London, Condor Flugdienst GmbH and Lufthansa
Technik AG signed a comprehensive contract regarding component
support of the airline's new and efficient Airbus A330neo fleet.
Under the terms of the ten-year agreement, Lufthansa Technik will
provide Total Component Support (TCS) for the Airbus A330-900neo
aircraft that will join Condor's fleet in the coming years. For
Lufthansa Technik it is the first TCS contract for this modern
long-haul type.
The contract, which comes into effect on January 1, 2023, covers not
only the classic supply of components but also various parts-pooling
and logistics services, including the establishment of a so-called
homebase stock at Condor's operations center at Frankfurt Airport.
The close proximity and long-standing cooperation between the two
companies will enable Condor to maximize efficiency in its technical
operations and ensure the best possible availability of the spare
parts it needs. Various maintenance, repair and overhaul services for
Condor's A330neo components are also part of the agreement.
"The supply of necessary components for our new aircraft is an
important aspect for the service entry and operation of the A330neo.
The continued cooperation with Lufthansa Technik AG ensures for us a
consistently optimal support according to the highest quality
standards in this area," said Christian Schmitt, COO and Accountable
Manager at Condor. "We are convinced of the work of Lufthansa Technik
AG as well as the services it offers and look forward to having this
important reliable partner at our side in the long term."
"New contracts with Condor are always important milestones for us,
because we enjoy a trustful collaboration for decades," added
Kai-Stefan Roepke, Vice President Corporate Sales Europe, Middle East
and Africa at Lufthansa Technik. "Nevertheless, this milestone is a
special one for me. Not only because with the A330neo, for the first
time, Airbus' latest aircraft program will also benefit from our
component services, but also because we were able to win this
contract in a very competitive environment. I am very grateful to
Condor for the trust they have placed in us."
The TCS for Condor's A330neo fleet continues a successful
collaboration that has been in place for many years. Lufthansa
Technik already provides reliable component services for Condor's
other Airbus and Boeing subfleets. The two companies also work
together in many other MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) areas,
such as engine and landing gear maintenance. This year Condor also
became the first airline customer for Lufthansa Technik's HeatNow
cabin floor heating system.
