Complete consumable supply for Aerocontractors Company of Nigeria

Lufthansa Technik Logistik (LTL) has been selected by Aerocontractors Company of Nigeria Ltd. to provide full consumables provisioning service (c.all) that covers the planning and procurement of consumable supplies plus the organization of routine and ad hoc provisioning.

The Nigerian passenger airline operates a fleet comprising several Bombardier Dash 8 Q300s and Boeing 737-400/500s from its home base in Lagos and flies both domestic routes within Nigeria and to international destinations in West Africa.

The agreement between Aerocontractors Company of Nigeria Ltd. and Lufthansa Technik Logistik is based on a detailed initial provisioning study that benefited from LTL´s extensive experience by serving 750 customers worldwide. In this way a tailored solution geared specifically to this fleet and to the airline’s operating conditions was developed. The IP provisioning for the customer is intended to cover normal material requirements arising in connection with planned maintenance and overhaul work on-site and to avoid aircraft on ground (AOG) situations in routine operations. In addition, LTL Customer Support will be available to the customer 365 days a year on a 24/7 basis, ensuring that any non-routine items outside the scope of the IP list can be provided at short notice when needed.

Under the c.all contract, which runs until August 2013 and is geared towards a long term support, Aerocontractors Company of Nigeria Ltd. will benefit from an extensive service that also enables it to optimize its costs. The supply portfolio identified specifically for this customer will reduce the complexity of the airline’s purchasing and, amongst other things, cut its overall transport and logistics costs through consolidation. At the same time access to LTL’s extensive inventory will guarantee high material availability and security of supply, while the optimized provisioning recommendations will ensure that the customer is able to minimize the amount of capital tied up.
