SWISS International Airlines renews and expands its service partnership with SR Technics
October 3, 2017 – Zurich, Switzerland: SR Technics, a world leading MRO service provider, is pleased to announce that it has signed several service agreements with SWISS International Airlines (SWISS). The contracts cover aircraft base & cabin maintenance, hangar & infrastructure and additional services for SWISS and Edelweiss, including 51 narrow-body and 35 wide-body aircraft.
As per the new contract, SR Technics will provide C-checks for the Airbus fleet, as well as back-shop and cabin maintenance support during scheduled A-Checks on A320Fam, A340, A330, B777 and Bombardier C Series aircraft. The MRO will also be supplying GSE maintenance and calibration services on test equipment under the new agreement as well as a range of other maintenance, infrastructure, storage and support services on site in Zurich and Geneva.

“SWISS is seeking for a set-up securing highest flexibility, quality and market oriented pricing, therefore we are relying on a multi-supplier strategy. As CTO of SWISS I’m more than happy to have SR Technics in our supplier portfolio as a local service provider in Zurich and Geneva and to continue the collaboration in a very challenging environment”, said Peter Wojahn, CTO at SWISS International Airlines Ltd.
