Lufthansa Technik AERO Alzey and Sky Regional Airlines, a regional carrier for Air Canada Express, sign MRO Agreement

Canadian operator Sky Regional Airlines (SKY) signed an exclusive 8-year-agreement with Lufthansa Technik AERO Alzey (LTAA) for providing MRO services on SKY’s fleet of PW150A powered aircraft. SKY started their operation in May, 2011 with five Bombardier Dash-8-400 aircraft.

Under the contract LTAA will provide maintenance, repair and overhaul services as well as spare engine support.

“Following signature of the Total Component Support Agreement with Lufthansa Technik in March 2011 and the positive experience we have had with the LHT group as a competent and reliable partner, we’ve decided to extend the relationship by entering into an engine service agreement with LHT’s subsidiary LTAA for our fleet of PW150A powered aircraft. We have worked with LTAA since we’ve started operating the PW150 and we have found that LTAA is delivering the service we require at very competitive prices.“ says Pat Melen, Director of Maintenance.

“We are very pleased to partner with Sky Regional and are looking forward to support Sky Regional’s future growth” says Martin Hach, COO of LTAA. “We believe this agreement is a direct reflection of LTAA’s commitment to provide the most flexible and comprehensive services in the Regional Aircraft Engine market.”
