Lufthansa Technik establishes engine airline support team in Montreal

Supported by the Trade Commissioner Service of the Canadian
Government, Lufthansa Technik has recently established an Airline
Support Team (AST®) for engine services in Montreal, Quebec.

Being operational since a few weeks, the Airline Support Team
currently offers CFM56-5A/5B engine on-wing/on-site services,
including module and blade replacement, top and bottom-case repairs,
to Lufthansa Technik’s customer Air Canada.

Wolfgang Weynell, Vice President Marketing & Sales of Lufthansa
Technik, said: “The North American, and especially the Canadian
market with one of our most important international customers, Air
Canada, is a cornerstone in our global business. The implementation
of the new engine support team in Montreal is one of our measures to
optimize our technical services and to guarantee Air Canada the best
possible support on site.”

The final AST organisation is planned to have a team of at least 12
engine specialists. Spare parts will be delivered through Lufthansa
Technik’s global network. Lufthansa Technik is working on business
opportunities to expand the service portfolio of the Airline Support
Team to other engine types and for other customers in the region.
