Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) has entered into a new 10-year Total Component Support (TCS) agreement with Lufthansa Technik to provide comprehensive support for its upcoming Airbus A350 fleet, which will join the airline’s long-haul operations in 2025.
This latest agreement builds on their longstanding partnership, which already includes support for SWISS’s Airbus A320, A330, and A340 fleets.
Claus Bauer, head of technical fleet management at SWISS, said: “Based on the reliable parts support for our current Airbus fleet, we are convinced that with Lufthansa Technik we have contracted the best possible partner for the fulfillment of our demanding component support demands. Hence, we are delighted to expand this trustful cooperation for the modernisation of our long-haul fleet.
“Especially in the challenging global supply chain situation, Lufthansa Technik’s support will help us ensure operational excellence for our A350s in terms of component availability, and give us the opportunity to maintain our competitive edge over the longer term.”
Kai-Stefan Roepke, senior vice president or corporate sales Europe, Middle East and Africa at Lufthansa Technik, said: “We are pleased to closely support SWISS in the modernisation of their long-haul fleet. With the massive capacity of our 15 global component stocks and flexible transportation solutions, we will ensure that every required A350 component reaches our valued customer in the shortest possible time. We have already begun our preparations and are looking forward to starting the support for SWISS’ newest aircraft type next year.”
