Lufthansa Technik: 5-Year Component Supply for Brazilian Carrier Azul

Hamburg/Germany based maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) provider
Lufthansa Technik AG and the Brazilian low fare airline Azul Linhas
Aéreas Brasileiras have signed a comprehensive long-term component
supply contract for the airline’s Airbus A330 fleet of seven A330-200
aircraft. The contract will run until end of 2019.

Azul, Brazil’s largest airline by number of cities served,
commemorated its first international flight within December 2014,
using its newly acquired A330 fleet.

The Total Component Support TCS® agreement covers component
maintenance, repair, overhaul and engineering services as well as
pooling and Home Base Lease at the airline’s home base in
Campinas/Viracopos. The component supply will be realized via the
Lufthansa Technik component network in the United States and Europe.

“We are extremely pleased to partner with Lufthansa Technik for our
A330 component support. Lufthansa Technik convinced us, that even a
large MRO provider could customize its services to the individual
needs of an airline who is building an international high-frequency
operation that requires a high level reliability and availability”,
said Amir Nasruddin, Director Aircraft Programs & Procurement of
Azul.

Joerg Femerling, Director Sales of Lufthansa Technik commented: “I
would like to thank Azul for the trust they have placed in us. This
contract signature is a large success for us in the growing but
highly competitive Brazilian market. As a strong partner we will
offer an optimal component support to assist Azul in its successfully
expanding business.”
