Lufthansa Technik AG and Malaysia Aviation Group Berhad have signed a Terms of Reference in Kuala Lumpur, on a strategic partnership framework for a joint venture (JV) to establish a regional maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility. The MRO facility, planned for 2017, would be based at Malaysia Airlines’ existing facilities at Kuala Lumpur International Airport and service the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 family of aircraft. The JV is expected to introduce state-of-the-art technical capabilities for base maintenance services and best practices in operations, creating a centre of excellence for the region. “Once this new joint venture becomes true, we will extend significantly our MRO capabilities in one of the most emerging markets worldwide,” explained Dr. Johannes Bussmann, Chief Executive Officer of Lufthansa Technik AG. “With Malaysia Airlines at our side we will have a strong regional partner to create a real success story with this new business.” The formation of the JV will be subject to, inter alia, approvals from the competent regulatory authorities and the signing of definitive agreements.
