Air Berlin Group has signed an agreement with Lufthansa Technik to provide comprehensive component support for its entire fleet. Under the Total Component Support TCS contract, which has already taken effect, the Hamburg-based company will manage supply of components for Air Berlin Group’s Boeing 737’s, its Airbus A320 and A330 family aircraft and its Bombardier Q400’s. Air Berlin will receive on-site service at its Berlin and Düsseldorf hubs from a team of locally deployed experts. The airline will also have access to Lufthansa Technik’s central material warehouses in Hamburg and Frankfurt and the wide range of repair services provided by the two sites. A global express service is offered for about 2,000 different types of electronic, hydraulic, or pneumatic components in the event of “Aircraft on Ground” (AOG).
A large part of Air Berlin’s spare parts inventory has been transferred to Lufthansa Technik. To keep flight operations running smoothly, stocks of the most frequently required components are also being held in the customer’s own decentralized storage facilities. A logistics concept tailored to Air Berlin Group’s specific needs has also been developed for the new customer.
